Bottle [750ml] shared with GregClow, jerc & mabel -- c/o GregClow. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a large fluffy off-white and some lacing on the glass. Aroma and flavour are yeasty, fruity and herbal along with lots of cloves and nutmeg. Medium bodied. Fantastic, I loved the spiciness of it.

Bottle, pours bright golden colour, flavour was quite spicy, maybe a bit too much for my liking, it was enjoyable. The spice does become. A bit hidden as you drink more, it was enjoyable, I would like to try again
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy copper with a big fluffy head that dissapears quicly that and a nice lacing. Aromas is fruity, spices like nutmeg and cardamome, coriander. Tasre has a nice fruitiness, honey, pepper, spices, very floral, alcohol is definiltly present. Big carconation here and fairly dry. Alcohol is a bit too much present for a saison IMO. Also the carbonation carries a lot of the alcohol esters so it makes it not as drinkable a lower ABV saison. Still enjoyable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours dark and semi-cloudy. Good spice aroma. Taste has a very mild bitter to it that makes it different than a typical winter/Christmas spiced ale.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A heavyweight Saison you could lay down a bomber or two of, mine was on draught. Fuzzy orange look with creamy white head, aromas of vanilla, spice and fruit. Deep round flavors of rooty spices nd himts of candy lemon and vanilla. Apricots, apple butter and prunes. Creamy palate, late bitterness seems to be from hops and herbal spices. Only a hint candy-ish and never too heavy.
