Oak Aged Black Saison

Description

Bootleg Brewery's Oak Aged Black Saison is a captivating farmhouse ale that takes the traditional saison style to new heights. Hailing from New Zealand, this beer offers a harmonious blend of complex flavors that will delight the senses. The aroma is an enticing symphony of toasted oak, vanilla, and peppercorn, with rich notes of dark fruit such as black cherries and plums. Subtle hints of spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg, add depth and intrigue to the overall profile. The appearance is equally striking, with a dark, almost black body that showcases a garnet hue. Moderate to high carbonation creates a creamy, off-white head, adding to the beer's alluring presentation. On the palate, the Oak Aged Black Saison delivers a complex and balanced experience. An initial burst of roasted maltiness lends notes of coffee, chocolate, and toasted bread, which are then complemented by a fruity character with hints of black cherries, plums, and berries. Subtle spice accents, including peppercorn and cinnamon, add a delightful layer of complexity, while the lingering oaky warmth and touch of bitterness provide a satisfying finish. The medium-bodied, velvety, and smooth mouthfeel is enhanced by the moderate carbonation, which adds a refreshing effervescence. The ample oak tannins contribute to the beer's overall complexity, making it an exceptional choice for both casual beer enthusiasts and discerning connoisseurs.
