Sketchbook Brewing Company's Saison. Label approved 26 September 2019.
Stronger than 98% of the 264 Saison labels we've read.
From the label“A BIT DIFFERENT... Dark but effervescent, rich but easy drinking, eerie and sinister but friendly and inviting. Much like it's namesake, Thestral is more than meets the eye. Our Black Rye Saison drinks big and is filled with the bold flavor complexities of flaked rye, Belgian yeast, and dark, roasted malts that help make this beer deceptively easy drinking.”
