Old rating from Aug 2015 - 330ml bottle from the Het Kasteelhof on Mont Cassel, Cassel, Nord France. Pours a cloudy amber colour with a white head. Aromas of cherries, vanilla & hops. Tastes start with a sweet fruity flavour, after a few sips you can taste the cherries & vanilla as well as maple, with a aftertaste of hoppiness. Overall on a very hot summers day a beer that that goes down lovely!

330mL bottle undated as far as I can tell, drunk 5/18/24. Light amber. Large, off-white head, good retention. Nose has a bit too much crusty, bready, woody, specialty malt and actually not all that much hop. But clean and with no crude ester/phenol. Though could use more black pepper. Soft, but then crusty. But more soft. Red fruit. Malty, woody. Clean. Elegant.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber with a large beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of estery saison yeast, some old oaky earthiness, and bready malt. Flavour is fairly dry, with a minimally estery saison yeast character, gentle old oak, plenty of earthiness (somewhat murky/muddled), and a big bready malt base. Finishes dry, earthy, and oaky, with a very thick palate. Carbonation is slightly above average, fitting for the style. Not exceptionally complex, but it's competently brewed. Nice one.
