75cl. Reddish murky brown, huge firm beige head. Very yeasty, mildly sourish nose with spiciness, mud, faint rotten fruits and cellary cheese. Extremely pleasant sourish flavor, rotten apples, great mild spiciness, nicely slight roastiness in there too. Medium to full bodied, strong moutfilling carbonation. Very smooth yet interesting, a freaking great dark saison.

Bottle. Semi-sweet fruity aroma, moderately musty and yeasty. Hazy orange body, huge foamy head. Flavor is a little on the mild side, but a well-balanced blend of malty fruitiness and some spices. Finish is light and very dry.

750ml. 2002 or prior? Red and blue label reading "Winter". Pour is hazy orange/amber with a foamy white head. Funky aromas of spice, tart fruit, citrus, and yeast. Flavor is outstanding with sour apples, spice, and slighy yeast. Very suprised here. An interesting brew and very enjoyable.

This beer was a winter ’08-’09 brew. It was dark, almost viscous for a saison. There was no spice and very little sweetness as well. It was almost familiar to a pilsener, but much smoother. I was a bit disappointed because I had such high expectations, but it was still a quality beer.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is barnyard, lots of spices and herbs. Flavour is spices, yeast, herbs and some hints of caramel. Quite brutal, but balanced. Semidry palate. With yeast in it gets a bit more bready and solid from the spicyness.
