Not really a big fan of this. Dark brown in color with a small tan head. Both aroma and flavor of dark fruits at first, but both are overwhelmed by a extreme funk and sour flavor. A few chocolatey undertones but I find the balance to be off in this one. Maybe I got an abnormal bottle... I’ll try again at some point.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Love the artwork. Pours an amber brown body with a rocky white head. Lots of spices pepper, allspice. Citrus and orange. Honey and caramel malt for sweetness. A magnificent warming makes this beer taste like Christmas. Good Beer.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle shared with Katie. A nice Holiday Season offering; although we enjoyed this in middle September. Pours hazy bronze color with a tasty-looking rocky beige head. Lovely spicy aroma of hops, rosemary, sage and Christmas ginger spices. Flavor is sweet and dry with notes of cherry, cinnamon, honey, a bit of raisin and a finish with tones of dark potpourri and peppery hops. Medium bodied with a nice carbonated finish. I like these dark Saisons.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle at Lowlander. Alround rating: Oxidised tart fruit acidity, fruity, dusty, floural peppery hop, quite thin though. The tart fruit character made it quite drinkable.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark brown pour with a thin cream colored head. Malty, sweet, dried fruit nose that leads into the flavor. Dry and spicy, and subtly smokey, along with a slight sour influence. No hint of alcohol.
