La Saison Noire Extract Kit

O.G: 1053 / Ready: 5 weeks

Right from the middle of French Flanders, this black saison is one of the most complex beers you will ever brew. An explosion of malt-derived dark fruits (think plums and sultana raisins) blends extraordinarily well with deep notes of toast and nut. A robust citrus and peppery disposition with an astonishingly smooth finish reminiscent of a top shelf espresso makes this beer entirely unique. Try it in a carbonnade or as a braising liquid for beef roast.

Recommendations:

Primary fermantation: 75°-90°F, approx. 1 week
