Our second collaboration with Brasserie St-Feuillien, Friendship Brew, is a Black Saison that blends European and American hops, Belgian yeast and a cache of secret spices. The aroma and flavors are enticing, with delicate fruitiness, subtle spice and rounded roast malt characteristics. Bottle conditioning provides lively carbonation and rich beer foam for a luscious body and a lean, dry finish.

Strong aroma has a malty core and firm floral and herbal notes, including a firm coriander tone. Pours a warm coffee brown with a thick, foamy and rather persistent tan head. Flavor has roast barley, herbal, floral and woody notes. The herbal component is on the strong side, perhaps a mite too strong. I like coriander flavoring in beer, but not too much! It leaves a woody, herbal, slightly malty finish. Fairly smooth texture has decent body and fizz. Let’s drink a toast to friendship between craft breweries!

Pours a dark mahogany color, thinnish, with a short cream colored head with some lacing, nice carbonation. Spicy upfront nose and taste of anise, green tea, tea leaves, orange peel and lemon zest - like it has been mulled - spicy and lightly fruity, different and flavorful.

Dark saison. Very very up front herbal nose, almost menthol like in quality. Flavor similar with some dark roast and lite funk. I really dug this but probably couldn't drink a ton...

Crowned by a thick, fat tan head 1 1/2 to 2 fingers high and sturdy. It drops strong, sporadic on the glass as the beer recedes. The strongest smell I get is mint basil. It seems to be a mix of the minty character of the hops and the strong herbal notes. It's also floral and piney. I don't quite get the balance from malts that I get in the flavor which, again, strongly reminds me most of mint basil but lets things play together as more floral (almost perfume-like), toast, pine, and a touch of roasty sweet notes come into play. It's has a medium body,but as the dryness gives it a chalky finish. Overall a interesting brew, better than many other collaborations out there. I give an extra point for the nice minty aftertaste.

Hope the "black Saison" kick doesn't catch on because it really just shouldn't. Aside from my preconceived notions not being met, this turned out to be a solid beer. Stout black pour with a foamy brown head and blanketing lacing. Dry with a faint sweetness in a light to medium body. Mixed spices, licorice, candy sugar, and fruity Belgian yeast. It's a nice spiced dark Belgian......far from what I consider a Saison.
