An ale about perception. Reality as a whole cannot be defined but merely perceived as best as out 5 senses can understand it. The levels of existence at the most deep level of understanding can only be defined as best as we can dig. We are only at the surface of truth and yet we can only come to our own conclusions. The saddest part is to never find it fully, yet the best part which truly shows no regret is the fact that we tried to find it. The truth of reality. If reality is only but an illusion of what our own senses can perceive, then the possibility of phenomena such as anything paranormal can exist due to the fundamental laws that make up this so called…”physical realm”…a realm of illusion and and infinite number of possibility. With that said, on to the beer review :P. 

Existent for me goes into territory of Black Saisons and specialty brews which I am familiar with. This beer actually came out before Folklore. That beer was epic in its own decree. I am a fan of Dark Belgian Stouts and Dark Belgians. Saison is more of a French term indicating Farmhouse Ale. Reasong being is because the flavors you get from usual saisons are very floral, bready, and complex in flavor. This beer is a Dark Farmhouse Ale. So there are some flavors of like that of Folklore but not to the specialty which made Folklore. Some Belgian/French yeast which makes the bread flavor, chocolate, banana, coffee cake, raisins, peppercorns, coriander spice, plum, figs, currants, grapes, earthy pine grass, grapefruit and oak. Folklore is different in the sense that the sweeter flavors flow more than that earthy hops and roasted flavors of this one. While the composition of the yeast is so familiar. Only as best as Stillwater Artisanal can make. Little by little I find more brews here in California. Baltimore has some of the best beers in the world.
