Commercial Description:
A Belgian ’saison-style’ ale brewed with cocoa powder and chili pepper? Ay, Caramba! Score another first for the unpredictable brewery that was the first -- and so far the only - brewery to make ales out of dandelions and mushrooms, among other things.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a longlasting white head. Very yeasty and spicy aroma with a slight sour touch. Sour dusty flavour with caramel, spice and citric notes. Medium bodied. No chocolate or chili notes at all?

750ml bottle from South Bay Drugs. Pours a completely hazed sunset peach color with a good sized off white head that left decent lacing. Some Belgian funk, clove spice, and a touch of herbal hops on the nose. A touch of barnyard in its falvor with some citrus peel and spice. Finish was much more crisp and tangy than expected, light pepper in there as well.

Poured cloudy golden orange color with 2 fingers of white/off white head. Nose smells of typical saison spices and fruity esthers, with a slight bretty smell. Highly carbonated, delicate flavors, mellow spiciness, no real prominent chocolate, finishes with a nice tart lemon

750 ml, cap and cork. Cloudy brown orange pour with a fine white head. Stinky. I only get the cocoa and chili because I’m looking for it. Subtle saison with plenty of cheese and wet hay. Flavor is better than the aroma - drinkable and unrefined in the right ways.

Bottle. Cloudy brown/amber pour with a foamy tan head. Lots of carbonation. Fruitiness and spice on the nose. Very slight cocoa presence in the taste. More fruity esters and some earthiness. Medium mouthfeel. Smooth finish. Very nice.

(Big 75 cl bottle). Clowdy light amber color. Big off white head that stays. Funky aroma of leather, horse and dandelions. A nice interesting taste with some bitterness but where is the chocolate?

Tasted 12/31/08. 750ml bottle. Slightly hazy with a golden hue. White eyeball of head. Perfumy doughy aromas. Mild banana note. Medium bodied with a bitter perfumy yerast character. Hints of apples and citrus fruit. Absolutely no hint of chocolate or cocoa to be found. Still tart and bitter with a subtle piney note. I guess I was expecting a little bit more from these guys...
