I was up at Stone a while back picking up a keg for our kickball game and the guy checking me out said I had to try this. Actually, he told me to buy one bottle to taste now and one to age for a year. I let it sit for 2 months and finally broke it out Friday night. This is good. Mellow flavors, small to medium sized head. Had a really good flavor. I'm on the fence about Black Ales, but this is the best I have tasted so far. 
This would have been really good with a spicy stew of some sort. Something hearty that could hold up to the flavor and thickness.

Normally I look for a beer that I can have and still eat a meal. One of these brewers should put this out on a regular basis. This is the problem with collaborations. This beer will never come out the same ever again.
If you see it pick it up. They used to carry it at Bevmo for $3.49/12 oz bottle, but I'm pretty sure they now carry the new collaboration Saison du Buff.
