nwilder (36), Denmark Jun 19, 2008 The Saison pours a deep copper amber with a fine off-white foam. The nose is dominated by caramel, bread, molasses, butterscotch, raisin, and a slight indistinct spicy note. Upon tasting the molasses and fruit dominate and a good amount carbonation brings the experience to life. As it fades an interesting licorice like sensation brings rich caramel attention to the back of the mouth. A remarkable effect in a beer of medium body.

Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good. sebletitje (579), Tampa, Florida, USA 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. TheGrandMaster (1526), Auckland, New Zealand 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. BoBoChamp (804), Gent, Belgium Jul 22, 2008 25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, clear, good head, nice brew, but too sweet
