"What kind of beer is this?" asks my girlfriend. I read the bottle description to her: "Oh, Black Saison? I probably won't like it, but I'll try it," she responds, followed almost immediately with a cry of "Oh! Damn, this is gooooood!" I crack a slight smile. "Yeah, it's from Gigantic..." *   *   * The City Never Sleeps pours a deep, dark black with a fair amount of fizzy tan head. Smells of cocoa and vanilla, nothing like a saison. Taste follows aroma -- light chocolate notes, a touch of vanilla, and some (very) subtle saison "funk" hiding in the back. Surprisingly smooth for the amount of carbonation present. Roasty, with a dry, slightly caramely finish. Deeeee-licious!
