Saison 5.5 º

Brique House Brewery
Brasserie au Baron

Hello Darkness is a rustic, evocative interpretation of a Dark Saison, balancing the roasted complexities of a darker malt bill with the vibrant, expressive character of farmhouse yeast. Deep mahogany in the glass, it greets the nose with a melange of spicy black pepper, floral hop notes, and a hint of dried dark fruits like plum. The palate is exceptionally dry and effervescent, showcasing toasted crust and subtle cocoa flavors that never turn heavy or cloying. A firm, hoppy bitterness cuts through the malt, leading to a crisp, peppery finish that perfectly balances its shadowy appearance with refreshing drinkability.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown (18–25 SRM) with a dense, long-lasting, rocky tan head and excellent Belgian lacing. The beer is lightly hazy with visible, vigorous effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring spicy black pepper phenols and pome fruit esters like pear and red apple. The malt provides a toasted bread and light cocoa backdrop, while the hop character is moderate, leaning into floral and earthy notes with a hint of citrus.

Taste. Initial impression is dry and spicy. Malt flavors of toasted grain and soft chocolate are present but subordinate to the expressive yeast profile. Hop bitterness is moderate to firm, providing a clean counterpoint to the malt. High attenuation ensures a bone-dry finish with a lingering peppery and earthy hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation, creating a prickly, effervescent sensation on the tongue. No perceptible alcohol warmth; crisp, refreshing, and highly attenuated.
