Pours darker than I’m used to, i guess that’s because my favourite saison is by dupont and this is very different. Candy sugar and dried fruits on the nose and palate with a slight metallic tone…..an interesting combination. Not as dry and tart as I’m used to so I’m not overly impressed I like my saison’s to be dry and refreshing and this one misses the mark slightly.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Sebletitje. Pours a clear amber with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, and a dusty dank basement. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

Aug 14, 2008 75cl bottle.
Pours ruby/copper with beige head.
Aroma is roasted malty coffee / mocha.
Taste is roasted, grainy, hoppy ,floral and fruits.
I could not quite put the finger on where this beer was a saison?
For 5%, the beer is filled with nice flavors.
It left a slight metalic after taste, that reminded me of a pils.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), pours an amber-tinted brown, with a bubbly off white head. A medicinal malt aroma. Sugar on the palate, a sweet medicinal flavour and a little thin. Not sure if this has travelled well.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle, Hoopers, East Dulwich. Poured a lightly hazy dark orange colour. Decent light brown head. Rich malty aroma with hints of caramel, dark fruit and some herb. Flavour is quite sweet with quite a bit of fruit. Some sourness in the finish. Teeters on the cloying side, but just about pulls through.
