Year of New Beer: Descendant Dark Ale, Mystic Brewery (MA)

Written By: Dion on 08/29/2015

Roasted malts lead to nuts and earthy hops along with traces of dark fruits on the nose. On the tongue, the juxtaposition of molasses sweetness and spicy saison yeast is odd, but strangely appealing as the beer warms. Raisins and caramel play out against a dry, toasted bread crust finish. Good, not great.
