It is a ~8.5% ABV Black Saison. We fermented it with a Belgian saison yeast until it hit about 7% then we added our house ale yeast to finish it. Once it was done fermenting, we added it to new American oak barrels with a medium-heavy toast. Then we spiked it with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis. The "Brett" is an isolated culture from Belgium that gives the classic barnyard, horse blanket character and pleasing tartness to lambic style beers. The tartness is mild but noticeable and adds a wonderful complexity to the beer. In alchemy, Philosopher's Stone is a reference to the substance believed to be able to turn metal into gold. Similarly, we believe we have taken a normal beer style and turned it into something extraordinary.

Pours a transparent mahogany ruby with a thin ring of spotty tan head. Aroma of tart fruity cherries and slightly biscuity malt with some funky barnyard character. Starts with a nice, lightly caramel malty sweetness with a good fruity cherry character and a touch of horseblanket. Finishes fairly full with nice balance and sweet tartness.

THis poured clear dark brown with no head. The flavor is sour, but not in a good way, almost lemony. It reminded me of the sour pork dishes I’ve had at German restaurants. Oh well.
