Blender. Afterglow
Saison 9.4 º
This potent, super-strength Saison presents a sophisticated fusion of traditional farmhouse character and vinous complexity. Co-fermented with Regent grape juice and aged on skins, it offers an evocative profile of dark forest berries, plum, and a rustic, earthy funk from the mixed culture fermentation. The deep garnet body carries a vibrant effervescence that lifts the heavy fruit influence, while the yeast provides a firm backbone of black pepper and floral esters. Despite its high strength, the finish is remarkably dry and structured, showcasing a delicate tannic grip from the grape skins and a warming, elegant finish that balances rustic grain with refined vineyard character.
Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet with violet highlights; capped by a dense, persistent, pink-tinted ivory head that leaves heavy Belgian lacing. Generally hazy to opaque due to the mixed culture and grape skin contact.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex layering of dark cherry, blackberry, and vinous Regent grape notes. A distinct mixed culture funk provides earthy, leathery undertones, complemented by spicy Saison yeast esters reminiscent of crushed black peppercorns and a faint, grainy malt sweetness.
Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and vinous with a sharp red fruit acidity. Medium-low grainy malt is quickly overtaken by rich grape flavors and a peppery phenolic spice. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the natural tannins and fermentation acidity to provide the balance. The finish is exceptionally dry and lingering, with a clean alcohol warmth and a rustic, wild yeast aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a high, effervescent carbonation that creates a prickly sensation on the tongue. Noticeable alcohol warmth is present but smooth. Features a moderate tannic astringency from the Regent skins, enhancing the dry, structured mouthfeel.
