Bent Stick Brewing Co. Dark Farm Saison at 5% ABV (C$7.60 at Sherbrooke Liquor, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 17-Dec-2016, reviewed 18-Dec-2016)
Appearance: cloudy brown with a fluffy three finger rocky beige head, excellent retention and moderate lacing. (3/5) Aroma: caramel, toasted bread, citrus and grassy. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, lively carbonation, sweetish moderate bitter and lightly spicy finish. (3/5)
Meh – another mess from Bent Stick. Unmanageable head, muddy appearance, and an aroma/flavour profile that’s far more Brown Ale than Saison/Farmhouse. It’s not actually offensive, but I can’t see bothering with another one of theirs. (12/20)
