Brewing a DARK SAISON: A RARE and RIDICULOUSLY GOOD Beer 4

Dark Saison is such a cool, and under-brewed style of beer! Take the spiciness, dryness and refreshing qualities of a traditional Belgian Saison and add layered complexities of chocolate and dark fruits. It is an AMAZING combination of flavors and one I really loved making.

  1. Probably someone mentioned it already. For the candi sugars, you could take some amount of wort out and dissolve it apart from kwttle, then simply pour back in that solution. Less chances for scorching ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. One of my favorite styles.
    Great work on the production upgrades! Well executed and watched to the end.

    1. @@TheApartmentBrewer I recently got to try a high abv Belgian dubbel at a local brewery and I was blown away with how good it was, I got heavy banana and vanilla notes to it
