Poured a deep brown-grey body with a nonexistent head/ Spicy, peppery, smoky body. Peats, dry papery nose. Good, gripping, gritty mouthfeel. Some chocolate, oak, nut, vanilla, fruit, pepper flavors. Complex and ripe. Quite tasty. Thanks, Dave! Snojerk321 (2037), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2007 Sampled the night before DLD thanks to someone? A slightly hazed brown pour with an off white head. A slightly chocolate and fruity aroma. A raisiny flavor with a hint of bitter. Just a tad over carbonated for me. Overall a good beer I would recommend. travita (1970), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 3, 2008 Almost mud colored with lots of sediment. Decent light tan foamy head. Smell is barnyard, almost sour like, malts, and horsey. Taste is sweet, tart, fruit, sour like goodness. Lots of complexity, very good. BillKismet (1962), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2002 A saison/flanders red ale and a finely crafted one at that. Earthy brown in color with a frothy cream head and high amount of carbonation, this beer has an aroam that is earthy and mysterious with cherry vinegar notes. Perhaps coincidentally, this beer neatly complements the pagan/druidic elements in ’The Wicker Man,’ which I watched this Hallow’s eve. A sour note persistently permiates the body with enigmatic herbs and bitter bites swirling in the mix. A work of arful craftmanship and a beer that grew on me from glass to glass. Far better than my first Flanders experience.
