Poured a somewhat hazy red/brown color with a nice off-white foamy head. The aroma is big honey with some sweet grains and spices. The flaovr was mostly dominated by sweet honey, with some pretty nice farmhouse notes, dark fruits and spices with a bitey finish. I was quite surprised by this one.

Poured a lightly hazy dark amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet honey, farmhouse, light spices, hay, and alcohol. Taste was equally sweet, with more spices, honey, caramel malts, dry yeast, and a rather strong alcohol burn. Interesting take on a biere de garde, I kinda liked it.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
As cold as I got this one it still gushed a little. I liked the richness and spice of this. The body was really nice and had nice head retention and quite a bit of carbonation but was not too much. Very sweet and malty almost a touch of maolasses. Saison type spice for me but a little more bite at the end like rye or clove. Very good.

750mL bottle, courtesy of hopdog, I believe. Thanks, Steve! Pours a hazy, orange-amber color; thin off-white head with mixed-bubbled lacing. Pleasant amounts of toasty malts, fruitiness, honey, and sugar in the aroma; very soft spicing. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: honey, sugar, pleasant chewy maltiness, and light spicing; bready malts and slight residual sugar; a bit muddled, but pretty tasty with a solid honey note. Medium finish: breadiness, honey, and toasty malts.
