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.

Jun 23, 2008 Clear dark amber with medium beige head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel and roasted malt. Sweet and somewhat spicy flavor with roasted malt, caramel and yeasty notes.

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.
