Notes

spices, moss, and 2oz orange goes in at 10 minutes. 1oz orange goes in at 1min.
mashed this at 150, fly sparge, 90 minute boil. This one didn't get bottled until 10/22/12... A long time in the carboy, but it dried out amazingly! Smells awesome bottling... Labeled it as: 4 month funk: dark saison.

this one goes down smooth! pours a deep amber/brown with thick head that dwindles down to half a finger. the aroma is peppery with hints of orange. taste is complex - spices, less peppery than the smell though, toffee, malty, very rich. very smooth and drinkable.
