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!”

Black Fox Somnambulance
I ordered a glass of Black Fox Somnambulance while out to lunch at Freshcraft in Denver. The beer pours a dark brown color with a thin tan head. The aroma consists of vanilla, liquid chocolate, molasses, and cookie dough. The taste is smooth and chocolaty, toasted malts that bite a little, and lots of vanilla smoothness. Other flavors that come out are molasses and brown sugar, which help sweeten the beer. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. This was such an amazing beer with so many flavors, and I was not expecting it to be so delectable. It boarded on being cookie-like, and was very much the perfect dessert beer.
