Heavyweight Saison de la Soeur Black

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Saison
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

Thanks to dpjuart for sharing! Dark brown with a nice tan head. Smells sweet, funky, grainy and gristy, with molasses and soy sauce. Strange taste. Chocolate, molasses, sweet cherry, plums, oranges. Craziness. Super complex with a lot of funk, but not all mixes well. And what is this brown crap around the rim of the bottle?

Bottle 75cl. @ chris_o’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2008.
Clear dark brown color with a huge, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, beige head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, sour berry, raisin, prunes, wet dog notes, some very nice and delicate sournesss. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, moderate acidc and bitter, sour with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (020808)

9/13/08 - 750 bottle shared with Exec Board. Pours black with fizzy/foamy khaki head. Nose is like a sweet stout, lactic and caramel. Tatse is roast and chocolate with lingering sour, lactic and oddly sweet chocolate taste with odd citrus/lemony after. Weird taste. Mildly sour/citric, roast and lots of chocolate. This bottle opened with a ton of gunk under the cap. Um, interesting.

Courtesy of dpjuart. This was a nasty looking bottle with gunk all over the cap and some blocked sewage pipe rusty crud in the neck after opening. Funky yeast sulfur aroma that lasted for quite a while - different people had different aromas around the table depending on when they poured the beer. Quite a lot of chocolate and mild alcohol once the nasty aroma fizzled away. Light body with heavy carbonation. Dark brown, a bit cloudy and a thin tan head. Watery tart start, with a bit of chocolate. Not what I’d call a typical saison, and I don’t think it aged that well. Not a fan of this one.

Shared w/ TheRealBastard. Pour is motor oil black with frothy off white head. Aromas of roasted malt, sour funk, and caramel. This brew drank like a porter and then as it warmed it changed into more of a sour one. Interesting and I’m very impressed with how this has held up.

shared w/Imadeadguy: Poured pitch black with pleanty of off white head. Aging very nicely, body is thick and juicy. The nose is very sour and tart. Tastes is almost like a mild porter. Has a malty full body with a mild pepper taste. Very unique, havn’t had anything like it. Quite impressive brew.

Bottle at Chris o’s… deep black ...slight sour malt nose ... roast malts, little chocolate,

Chris_o’s GBBF Shindig 08. Vinegar nose. Sweet and dark. Some bananary vanilla flavour. Tastes like a home brew gone wrong. Drinkable but strange. Points for something different, minus points for not making it taste nice.
