Please critique. I think I am happy with the grain bill, but I've never brewed (or drank) a dark saison. I am a bit concerned that I might not balance the spices appropriately, though. I want this to be spice forward for the holidays and I want the GOP to give it a little zing, but balance is key to a decent Saison.
Would you drink it?
Feedback is appreciated!!
