Jul 4, 2005 Pour is nice cloudy amber with a dense tan head...smell is spicy with cloves, corriander, maybe some pine as well...sharp metallic taste at first...a little sweet with some bitterness toward the finish...disappointing...

Dec 15, 2008 VRBT. Golden yellow. Woodsy sour saison style aroma. In the flavor, there is a nice sour note going on, appealing tartness. There is faint white chocolate on the finish, probably because I am looking for it. Not at all sweet. A very solid beer.

Jul 26, 2005 07.26.05 750ml bottle. Murky bornze pour with thick, pinkish-tan head and lots of lace. The first aroma impression I get is salt water soaked grass and wool. The next is Hershey’s syrup and skim milk. Huh. Also a touch on the spiced side with some pepper and dank yeast. Flavor is wildly tart right from the get-go with a sharp grassy acidity. Crazily short on the palate, its a blast of tart, bitter cocoa, grass/herb, then lingering citrus tang and hemp twine. Oh man I wish I had someone handy to share this 750 with.

Oct 4, 2005 Generous samples on consecutive nights at the Falling Rock during GABF, one from Dr. Bill and one from a complete stranger. Orange-straw body with minimal sparse bubbles. Aroma is of menthol cigarettes, goats, and horseblanket. No noticeable chocolate. Flavor is strongly phenolic with spicy and plastic characters, light honey, some pineyness, and fairly strong bitterness. Mouthfeel is thinned out. Decent, but certainly not one of my favorites from Dany Prignon’s saison factory.

Apr 24, 2007 I purchased two bottles of this some time ago. One bottle I drank right away and the other I tossed in the fridge until JK’s Spring Gathering. The first bottle had a wonderfully subtle transition between the chocolate and chili flavors. The second bottle was a disappointment. The chocolate flavor had all but disappeared leaving a faintly stale tasting beer. Still good, but nowhere near as good as my original tasting.

Mild chocolate aroma. Very malty and mildly spicy with a bit of mustiness. Light orange in color with a pinky thin tan head. Full hearty malt backbone with mild chocolate/coca notes and slightly spicy elelments. The overall feel is like a cocoa muffin with a touch of spice thrown in. Very satisfying, but subtle brew that I think is a bit under appreciated.
