On tap at the Railroad bar and grill. Pours a dark cocoa brown with light brown head. Chocolatey aroma, also very cocoa (a theme to be sure). Mouthfeel is moderate but actually a little thick for a porter. Slightly greasy and more towards an export stout as it’s not quite thin or dry enough to be a porter. Taste is cocoa to be sure. The Belgian notes were quite present. Reminded me of a smaller Weyerbacher Tiny, except good. The more I drank, the more I liked.

Big bottle shared thx to Torsten at Mikkeller bar cons 2013-05-04 Cophenhagen AR: bretty, grape fruit, citrus AP: wee hazy golden, high frothy cream colored head F: citric, lemon zest, tropical fruits, white peppery, tart, fresh mandarine

S: Blows out whith lots of grains and farm bretty notes, there is also lemons with sharp smell (pee) which was unpleasent and really one of few things I didnt enjoy about this beer, but it fades after a while, and then just add some spices to the smell. Strong smell overall. P: A golden haze with a big white haze, this looks like mango juice towards the end. T: I found this rather difficult, there is banyard tartness upfront, sour lemons, coriande, and some spices, its just great. M:Light and puckery with great carbonation. O: A great fine saison, the lemons and spices made this awsome, I was sad driking the last drops.

Bottle at Mikkeller & Friends. I remember when I had my first saison, it was a Fantome quite long ago. I was blown away be it´s blance and complexity. This is better, it´s incredibly true to the style and balanced. Loads of outhouse, farm, grass, yeast and funk in this one. There is massive amount of fruits, some mango, grape, citrus, but very subtle and balanced. It´s quite refreshing but is demanding a lot from your sences. Fantastic stuff!

From a 75 cl bottle at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen, Denmark. Hazy golden, medium white head. Fruity with notes of pineapple and mango. Light to medium bodied, medium to high carbonation. Dry with a soft acidity. Very tasty and refreshing.

Flavour of wheat, white grapes, floral hops, brett and maltiness. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Finishes floral, spicy and mellow on sweetness. Really refreshing and summery. Great stuff.

75 cl bottle @ Mikkeller & Friends.
Pours clear golden color with a medium sized white head. Aroma yeast, barnyard notes, citrus fruits and spices. Flavour of citrus fruits, lemon, some spices, apricot, grapes and mild goose berries. Sour, yet quite crisp fruity palate, mouth-drying finish. Very nice.

750ml bottle @ Mikkeller & Friends, Copenhagen

Pours clear yellow with a small foamy head. Aroma of funky bretta notes, fruity hops, farmyard and citrusy notes. Taste is tart, fruity and zesty with bretta, citrus and yeasty farmyard notes. Finish is tart and sourish with lots of bretta and fruity notes. Nice, quite funky and tart, but balanced saison.

Bottle. Musty lemon malt aroma. Cloudy yellow with moderate head. Sweet musty lemon, brett, and malt flavor. Excellent.
