| Description: | Black saison with cherries. Marrying the roasted malt notes of their black saison with the brightness of tart cherries. When Fair Isle released batch one of Paulie last year, they picked up a distinct hit of cherry tartness from their house culture nestled into the roastiness of the grain bill. Wanting to bring out these fruity notes, they dosed a few kegs of Paulie with some fantastic cherries left over from Val as a draft-only release. Fair Isle liked it so much that they decided to up the cherry addition this year and make it a proper release! Calling to mind the malt character of a black lager, the base beer’s flavors of bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and dates are uplifted by tart Montmorency cherries grown by Rowley and Hawkins Fruit Farm in Central Washington. Balanced and sessionable, the fresh fruit profile comes to the forefront as the beer warms. | |
