Maine, United States

Style | ABV
Saison / Farmhouse Ale |  9.50% ABV

Availability: Rotating. bottle (316), on-tap (66), cask (4), growler (3). 

Notes:
Two yeast strains were used to create this unique 9.5% ABV Belgian style ale. The first, a Belgian farmhouse yeast, establishes the flavor foundations of a classic Belgian-style ale. The second, a house strain of Brettanomyces yeast, brings it to the next level contributing an intriguing myriad of flavors including pear, apricot, graham cracker, and bread crust. Finally, a portion of the Interlude is aged in French Merlot and Sirah oak barrels, which impart a distinctive vinous plum character and a drying, almost tannic finish.

4.55/5  rDev +7.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance: Pours a hazy amber color with a significant billowy head that sticks and laces well

Smell: Each sniff brings out a different element - tart green apples; Brett funk character; vinous Merlot/Syrah elements; cough syrup, too

Taste: Starts with a fruity apricot and plum flavor that grows increasingly tart by mid-palate, but also displays an undertone of toffee; after the swallow, the tart apple and Brett flavors rush forward with a bit of barnyard funkand other earthy/oaky elements; the vinous elements don't show up much until the very end, and they remain subtle but distinct

Mouthfeel: Medium body with tingly Belgian carbonation; some warmth on the finish

Overall: A serious beer to contemplate carefully

Serving type: bottle
