Mar 2, 2009 Bottle. Opaque black-brown, reddish tint, with thick tan head. Funky wood-laden aroma is saturated with dried fruit and fun organisms. Nice carbonation. Has coffee in the background and strange spices and fruits in the foreground. Some moldy flavors are strange. The flavors are nicely layered, and change with shocking sharpness. After the moldy beginning there is a sharp shift toward interesting chocolate and coffee. Ends finally in a swath of apple core and seeds.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle shared by Sunshine and Oakes. Pours a cloudy brown with an off white head. Aroma is tart, funky, lemony, stewed prunes, and wet decayed wood. Flavor reminds me of chewing on a toothpick. Some tart lemon and vinegar present as well. A complex beer but not my cup of tea(beer!)

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle from 1994 - Brown body with an yellow edge, big bubbled beige head; Lots of age in nose, not in a dusty way but in the sherry barrel way, very special combination of chestnut, fresh figs and warm alcohol notes; Very thin textured but velvet soft body, no acid at all, quite complex sweet and spicy; Long finish with again a mixed fell, velvet soft, very spicy, warmer softer aromas with dense fruit almost candy like parts. Very special and funny beer to drink.

Feb 18, 2009 Big bottle from Stateline.. Capped and corked. Muddy orange in color, not much head. Tart aroma with spices. Taste is slightly tart, a little dry with some spices. It is rich and sugary for a saison... 10% is high for a saison but its not even noticable. Low carbonation. Overall nice saison...

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle at Max’s Belgian Festival in Baltimore. Poured a nice deep brown color with little head. Aroma was almost port like. Had some strong vinous qualities with a hint of some spiciness. Makes sense now that i see it has black pepper. Nice thick mouth feel with a good touch of sour flavor. Not overwhelming, but just enough. this was a good beer.
