Oct 20, 2008 Pours hazy amber with a huge white head. The honey and coriander are up front inthe nose, as is the malt and yeast. Very spicy. The pepper gives it a spiciness that I haven’t had before in a beer this sweet. The chocolate malt and the honey are very sweet, btu kept in check because of it. An underlying musty fruitiness is there throughout. There is jsut so much going on in this beer it makes it kind of hard to describe. I definitelty recommend this one.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle shared with Katie. A nice Holiday Season offering; although we enjoyed this in middle September. Pours hazy bronze color with a tasty-looking rocky beige head. Lovely spicy aroma of hops, rosemary, sage and Christmas ginger spices. Flavor is sweet and dry with notes of cherry, cinnamon, honey, a bit of raisin and a finish with tones of dark potpourri and peppery hops. Medium bodied with a nice carbonated finish. I like these dark Saisons.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle at Lowlander. Alround rating: Oxidised tart fruit acidity, fruity, dusty, floural peppery hop, quite thin though. The tart fruit character made it quite drinkable.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark brown pour with a thin cream colored head. Malty, sweet, dried fruit nose that leads into the flavor. Dry and spicy, and subtly smokey, along with a slight sour influence. No hint of alcohol.
