Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailScratch #14 Saison 2008

Scratch #14-2008 is our interpretation of a farmhouse aleââ?¬â?a once near-extinct winter-brewed (and summerââ?¬â??imbibed) Belgian ale. Our celebratory brew starts with a black pepper and ginger nose. The nicely carbonated brew releases a honey-malt flavor that gives way to a tart crisp finish that masks the elevated ABV. We use a blended yeast strain (Saison Dupont & Le Chouffe) to create the traditional peppery, spicy earthy flavors of the saison. Slight hints of ginger also come through in the finish. Drink it ââ?¬Ë?til the wedding bells chime!
