brokensail (21480) - San Diego, California, USA - NOV 11, 2014Bottle @ Hotel. Thanks, Alex. Black pour with only mild carbonation and a khaki head that doesn’t last long. Sort of a musty, oxidized nose. A lot of soy sauce and herbs. Licorice, some cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup. The flavor is a touch ashy and is fairly roasty. A really heavy dose of soy sauce and old herbs makes this sort of weirdly savory. A lot of old milk chocolate. Some caramel and grass. Just kind of stale.

ogglethorp (919) - Ohio, USA - SEP 12, 2008Bottle shared at Cleveland tasting. Pours a cloudy brown color with a decent beige colored head. Aroma is caramel, light citrus, yeast. Flavor is spicy, orange, malt, raisin, I get this spice, however not the rosemary it says was in the boil. Palate is smooth, medium bodied, medium carbonation, finsihed spicy and a tad warming, with a touch of tartness. Nice!
fiver29 (1112) - Cleveland, Ohio, USA - AUG 23, 2008Tasted at Cleveland tasting on 8-23-08. Thanks!! Bottle pours a dark brown color with off white head. I surprised this was a saison. Considering its been aging a while this may be normal. Has a nice sweet aroma consisting of sweet malt and some slight citrus. Taste is smooth tart flavors, but it isn’t really tart. Sweetness and some spice on the finish round out this brew. I was pleasantly surprised by this brew. Overall it was a nice aged brew.
goldtwins (4319) - Nesconset, New York, USA - FEB 18, 2008Dr. Bill’s tasting. Poured a hazy light brown color with a thin off-white head. Sweet aroma with a mild tartness and light oxidation to the malt. Some notes of cola and spice. Mild alcohol. The flavor had a mildly sweet start with a long spicy finish. The flavor dried out quickly. Medium body with alcohol warmth.
