This Torontonian tipple featured a yeasty
beast of a nose, supplemented with spicy and floral notes. The flavour
was equally yeasty, but balanced with the roasted malt elements of a
dark ale, and a slight touch of a bloody iron taste.
This
was a grand saison--full-flavoured, well balanced, and unique. The
mouthfeel wasn't quite as lively as I might have wanted, but then again,
this bottle wasn't extremely fresh, having inhabited my refrigerator
for a few weeks over the winter holidays. Of the four Burdock beers I
was given, this was easily the crème de la crème.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
