Parallel 49 / Townsite Brewing Inc. Brews Brothers Les Portes du Pénitencier Black Table Saison Saison at 5.0% ABV (C$2.63 at Andrew Hilton Wine & Spirits, 341 ml, bottle date 11-Feb-2015)
Pours clear amber-brown with one finger of dense light tan head, good retention and minimal lacing. (3/5) Nose is dark malt, mild citrus, faint coffee. (4/10) Taste is mild to moderate sweet, mild bitter, slight sour. (4/10) Medium body tending to watery, moderate carbonation, mildly bitter finish. (2/5)
Aaaand I dunno what the hell this is. Looks fairly pretty, but that’s about the extent of it. A muddled boring mess that tastes like coffee and dishwater, without much saison character to speak of. (8/20)
