Bottle. Pours a hazy brown body with a tan head. Sweet and malty with floral notes. Much of the hop character has disappeared with time as this is 2 years post closing. Slightly oxidized with ripe fruit apple cider and some oak.

750ml bonus via trade with BrianK. Thanks Brian, also got a bottle recently from TheRealBastard. Pours cloudy light brown with a tan head. Nose is sweet and floral with a bit of a syrupy quality. Taste is sweet, bitter and interestingly flavorful will clear hops that are probably a bit old but stil its tasty, there is a underlying heat thats interesting and a little strange. Overall a tasty interesting saison.

<b>In short: </b>A extra-rustic but past due-date oxidized Saison.<br /> <b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml. Vintage, probably 2 years old or so. Received from BrianK, thanks a lot Brian.<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy light brown body with almost no head<br /> <b>In long: </b>Nose is very rustic, an old rusty chariot in an old dirty barn. Body is rather dead which I suspected from the lack of “pssh” when taking the lid off. Toasted hay, roasted nuts, strongly oxidized, mellow toffee, extra-ripe fruits. I really enjoyed the strong rustic character but everything else about this beer is dead. Hard to believe I had the Saison De La Soeur Golden a few weeks ago &#40;about the same age&#41; that was still a masterpiece while this bottle was totally dead. Drinkable because there was enough of it left that I could imagine what it once was. Oh well, at least I got to try the Saison De La Soeur NotHoppyAnymore.

Aged over 2 years. Pours a lightly hazy, dark amber color. A foamy, off-white head settles to a thin film. Skinny, jagged lines and micro spots of lace cling to the glass. The aroma is complex and fruity, a lightly sweet, pale malt background being complimented with everything from chardonnay grapes and currants to pears and red cherries. There is a faded, herbal, earthy hop profile that clearly isn’t as potent as it once was. Flavors feature the chardonnay grape prominently, along with oak, sweet golden raisons, and a hint of butter crust. The hops mostly provide a spicy bite at this point. Medium bodied and smooth, the fine carbonation leads into a semi-dry finish. Not bad at all. Hard to believe this has held up as well as it has.

Thanks Beerlando&#033; A yellowish-orange color with a nice pillow of a white head. Aroma is slightly vinegar, with some herbs and a little mint. Taste has a lot of cherry in it with sour notes and more vinegar.
