plovmand (1588), Helsinge, Denmark May 28, 2009 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? Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA May 24, 2009 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. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA May 23, 2009 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 nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 16, 2009 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. hopslovin (180), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA May 13, 2009 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.

This is your perfect friend at the beach in the night wathcing the moon and trying to get close to your GF. flavor is well balanced between potentially cloying chocolate and refreshing belgian saison style. this is art... nice flavor indeed. TEJA (281), Stockholm, Sweden Mar 25, 2009 (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? sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Jan 20, 2009 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...
