Bottle @ Armin’s house, courtesy of mattsciguy. Thanks! Pours a deep brown appearance with a light brown head. Somewhat minty / herbal, slightly roasty, chocolate, kind if juicy, pretty aroma. Twangy, lime, pineapple, tart fruity, somewhat roasty flavor. Strange but quite tasty.

750mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours deep dark brown / near-black with large beige / tan head. Aroma brings out subtle tangy notes, earth, and some musty farmhouse notes. Flavour brings out loads of tangy notes, dark musty farmhouse notes, and earth. Lightly citric and earthy on the finish. Nicely balanced with no jagged edges. Characterized mostly by earthy notes and lightly citric notes. Great stuff.

Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a hazy near black with a brown head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of light dark grains with sour fruits and a hint of funk. Flavor starts with dark grains that is balanced by a nice funkiness and has a light sour fruit tartness.

Bottle, many thanks to Leighton! It pours cloudy darkest brown with a massive light tan head. The nose is earth, toast, caramel, candy, spice, light charcoal, copper and mild sourness. The taste is sour, tangy berry, roasted malt, charcoal, toast, tart granny smith apple, lemon, mustiness, light alcohol and vinous notes with a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Not quite what I was expecting, but pretty tasty nonetheless.

Craft Clerkenwell Tasting. Thanks as always to Leighton for keeping us in Hill Farmstead. Opaque dark brown - red beer. Palate is light, dry and slightly crisp. Touch of cherry fruit with light malt cream and a little yeast bitterness. Dry finish. Fine, if a bit dry.

Bottle split at CBC tasting, big thanks to Leighton (and Nellie!), 26/06/13. Extremely dark mahogony brown with a good tan covering. Nose is sour/wild yeast, grass, tarte fruit, funk, barnyard. Taste comprises grass, bitter orange, more subdued sour/wild profile when constrasted with the aroma, lemon rind, farmyard, herbal notes, funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish. Decent saison which crosses over a little into the sour/wild bracket.
