Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

Thanks dchmela for the 750ml bottle. Served cellar temp. Abundant carbonation in this bottle, with bubbles coming up from the bottom of the pour for almost the duration. Rather light and clear amber pour with huge off-white head. Yeasty, malty, maple syrupy nose with some cinnamon baked apple and woody tart cherry notes. Neither overly spiced nor overly sweet smelling. A little sourness on the nose, which is promising. Alcohol very well hidden. I’m liking this more as I get deeper into it. Really takes on the qualities of a Flemish sour the more it warms. I think this would disappoint in a tasting, but if you have the time to drink it for awhile, it definitely rewards. Very impressed with this brewery so far.

Thanks to BeerLando for the 750ml bottle. Cloudy dark orange color with a large head. Aroma was yeasty (banana) with caramel malt and a hint of spice. Very sweet flavor, medium body and kind of boring.

In short:
How: Bottle 750ml, about 6 months Old. Shared on the Stone-Bourbon-Barrel-RIS-Hype-And-Disappointment tasting session with Montreal crew
The look: Cloudy dark-orange, very small off-white head
In long: Some of the flavours that came out were french toasts with some supermarket table syrup, wood juice and orange peels dipped in caramel. However what really stood out about this beer is how yeasty and dirty it is. This is not what we call a “clean beer”, quite the opposite actually. I don’t mind a dirty beer when it is done right and this was mostly the case here. But that dirtiness may tick off some people. One thing for sure this is what we can call a “Real Man’s Beer”, not really because of its taste, but because it took four of us to remove the cork.

Objectively speaking: An extremely yeasty, highly original Belgian-inspired amber ale.
I like: Quite aromatic, fully estery. Very original flavours. Exclusive house character (a bit limey/gingery like a funky 7-up, unclean and musty).
I dislike: Rather dull finish where dead bready yeast cuts short the flavour development that was captivating up to now. Quite sweeter than their Saison with its caramelly leanings that please me less since their yeast seems so suited to refreshment.

Bottle from trade. Dirty caramel color with not-much-of-a white head. Aroma is pretty funky and malty, oaky and almost flemish sour aroma. Oaky, dirty, red fruit and slight alc, lots of earthy belgian yeast, a little winey as it warmed. Medium body with a little bit of carb. I am really digging this brew, like a big flemish, mixed with saison, very nice.

Thanks to xnoxhatex. hazy caamel orange pour with no head, just a faint white ring. Honey and caramel sweetness, tart gape, cherry , tobacco. Both sweet and tart in flavor, honey and caramel, nice tart red fruit. Very smooth with no carbonation. It gets better and better the more I sip it. This is very Belgian indeed. I could drink this one all day.

Thanks xnoxhatex! Pours a murky dark orange with a minimal white ring on top. Intricate aroma, sweet honey, malty caramel, fruity, woody, tart, alcohol. Tastes like a sour and barley wine blend. Thick viscous body, zero carbonation, sticky, vague. Tart, sweet, caramel, lightly sour, lightly spiced with a touch of red fruit in the finish. Good going America.

Acquired in a trade with Beerlando - Pours a hazy amberish brown color with a small fizzy white head. Interesting nose of Indian spices, cardamon, and cinnamon, with a small amount of vinous apple skins. Sweet bready maltiness, with some white pepper spice, white grapes and a bit of honey mixed with white candi sugar. A bit of babana yeastiness as well as a small amount of caramel and toffee. Not bad at all, very drinkable. Thanks Bryan!
