Saison 9.5 º

Bierol

This Imperial Saison offers a complex sensory journey, merging the rustic profile of a traditional Saison with the decadent influence of four months in apricot brandy barrels. Intense stone fruit aromas of ripe apricot and dried peach lead the way, intertwined with spicy Belgian yeast phenolics reminiscent of black pepper and floral hops. The barrel aging lends a rich, warming brandy character and subtle oak tannins that provide structure to the highly attenuated, dry finish. Expect a sophisticated balance of grainy malt, stone fruit sweetness, and a pleasant, lingering warmth, embodying a bold, elevated take on the classic farmhouse style.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber in color. Topped with a dense, ivory, long-lasting head that leaves significant Belgian lace. Unfiltered with a slight haze and visible effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of ripe apricot and dried fruit from the brandy barrels. Moderate spicy yeast character featuring black pepper, supported by low floral and earthy hops. A light, grainy malt backbone is present alongside a noticeable, clean alcohol warmth.

Taste. An initial burst of apricot and stone fruit complexity transitions into a soft, grainy malt palate. Moderate bitterness is balanced by spicy yeast phenols. High attenuation ensures a very dry, crisp finish with a lingering spicy aftertaste and a warming brandy-like presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with high, effervescent carbonation. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a smooth, creamy texture with a touch of drying oak tannin.
