Drunken Farmer Imperial Saison

I guess it's still a little early, I just wanna keep the thread alive because I'm thinking about brewing this. Any reports, say from hydrometer samples?

Racked oday bc I think I saw spots of mold floating in my Secondary. Idk. Pretty concerned. I transferred to a bucket and addedy hops for a final week. Be a total 4 wks in second. gravity was 1.010 giving about 9.5% . Sampled and really can't say that I liked it. So idk...pretty bummed I saw something suspicious in there. I'll see thus week I guess.

Bottled today. Sampled a little bit to see what I can say is that I was very worried bc of the mold scare and then when I opened the bucket and racked to bottling bucket the smell...idk. funky might be the right word. Also there was this oily residue I guess on top here and there. I used a spoon to get some off and make the beer at least appear cleaner. I sacrificed a bit more this time around than with other beers ive done. Mainly bc of the dry hop. Left a ton of debris and i tried to avoid it. So I tasted it. Really not what I expected based off smell and look. IT was good. Has this fruitiness to it. Now I'm excited to see what time tells. Can't wait to try it around turkey day.

Tasted last night. Not bad at all. Kept a head for a long time. Hoppy bitterness at first but then a smooth, fruity flavor. Nice beer I think. A bit heavy. Feel like I couldn't have more than two or three.
