No saison to be found here. First half was pure rum. As it warmed, sweet malty ale base poked through. Extreme but ultimately tasty. Bottled 2019.

15 January 2022. Bottle from Beers@Moviefun. Vintage 2014. Bottled: 16/6/2019. Hazy dark amber, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of raisin, fig, dried banana, soggy brioche, straw, caramel, brown rum, green apple, vague solvent or nail polish remover. Taste has sweet raisin, red apple & dried banana; sourish wheat & unripe green apple under a carammelly, brioche-like malt body, bit phenolic-spicy, herbal-yeasty. Earthy hoppy finish, woody with dried fruits, some wet grass and boozy brown rum-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Quad Saison? Slightly over the top but it's quite the ride.

Bottle from Etre. Hazy dark amber in color with a thin off white head that quickly dissipates. Earthy and hints of vanilla with bits of tea and a whole lot of alcohol notes. Not much saison left in this mostly just barrel notes.

Struise sait faire largement mieux. 5 années ont été de trop pour cette Aestatis dont l'aigreur, marquée, n'est pas des plus agréable. Résultat pouvant survenir dans certains cas, je ne pensais pas qu'une telle brasserie allait sortir pareille bière. Décevant donc. En verre nous sommes sur un ambré foncé (EBC de 25) parcouru de fines bulles et recouvert d'une mousse blanc cassé de 3 mm. Le nez est sur un rhum franc, du miel, du caramel et de la vanille. A ce stade, c'est plutôt ma crainte d'un rhum omni présent qui nait. Mais finalement, je l'aurais préféré car l'aigreur marquée ne permet pas aux arômes de bien se développer, et sont de surcroît pas très agréable. Il est certain que cela casse à la fois la douceur mais également l'alcool qui ne fait pas ses 11 %. Ainsi à l'attaque ce sont pomme verte et citron qui s'allient aux arômes de rhum, miel, vanille, caramel et de vieux bois mouillé. L'amertume à 59 d'IBU vient renforcer l'impression de fraîcheur. Seconde et arrière bouche n'apporte à vrai dire pas grand-chose et c'est seulement le final qui permet une petite touche de satisfaction plus chaleureux. Rien ne sert de laisser ses bières 5 années en fût.

Brownish cream head; opaque deep brown chestnut beer. Alcoholic, boozy nose, sweet-ish, rum, quite a bit of wood. Syrupy, alcoholic, sweet chocolate; whilst the finish has a bit of bitterness, mixed with raw alcohol. Aftertaste returns to chocolate, pralines with slightly more bitter chocolate, but in the end the booze remains. Very well-bodied, lots of alcoholwarming. Boozy might be an understatement. Punch-in-the-face rather than complexity. And for Pete's sake, Urbs, don't call this a Saison!!!
