While at Trinity Brewing Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I took home a bottle of their collaboration with Black Fox called Double Rainbow to ship to myself in Pennsylvania. The beer pours a reddish-caramel-amber color with a thin filmy bubble white head. The aroma consists of Belgian yeast, rosemary, pepper, orange, tangerine, and a hint of pumpkin. The taste is large and extremely flavorful. It is relatively easy to pick up the pumpkin, rosemary, violets, and roses. Hidden underneath those bold flavors is eggplant, honey, parsley, and pepper. The finish dries out due to some saffron, and actually brings out the Belgian base used for the saison. The alcohol content is 14.0% ABV. There is so much going on in this beer that it is a true workout for your tongue. The floral flavors are the best accents in it, but there is always enough sweetness to balance it out nicely. It has to be said: “It is so intense!”
