Poured from bottle into a teku glass, mostly dark translucent brown rims and cloudy black in the center. Nose is mostly subtle in nature - roast malts and some smokiness. The palate is light-medium bodied but quite foamy. The typical farmhouse flavor of Stillwater comes out the most prominently with a slight caramel sweetness. The finish shows an extremely slight bitterness from the roast malts. Overall, the flavors don’t work against each other but lack any intensity to become something unique.

Bottle. Sugar, berry, and chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown with small head. Sweet-tart berry and smoky toffee malt flavor. Light body. Okay, but can’t really tell what they were going for here.

Draught. Dark brown with reddish tint, very small beige foamy head that dissipated immediately, very slight vanilla aroma, low carbonation, berry flavored coffee bean tinted taste trying to cover the alcohol in the background, longish finish with alcohol aftertaste. Interesting but reminiscent of a strong alcohol porter.

Bottle from Bo Brooks’ Lighthouse Liquors, Baltimore. Mahogany in colour, with a slight, off-white, head and decent carbonation. Dee Belgian yeastiness, candy sugars, dark fruits and spice, leading to a gentle finish. Alcohol was well hidden. Very good.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/19/2014. Pours fairly pitch black color with a small dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big raisin, plum, fig, berry, licorice, chocolate, cocoa, toast, dark bread, clove, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and spice notes; with great strength. Taste of raisin, plum, fig, berry, licorice, chocolate, cocoa, toast, dark bread, clove, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of earthy yeast spice on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, plum, berry, licorice, toast, dark bread, clove, pepper, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and spice flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome dark saison style. All around great complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and spice flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

It pours with the vitality of a coke, with so much fizz that I worry it will be horrible. It smells wonderful however. There’s coffee, raspberry, rye bread, sherbet and liqueur. It’s a little cloying in the mouth at first, but dissipates on the tongue, with aniseed and nuts giving way to coffee and soft hops. The 8% alcohol leaves a burning in the back of my throat like a smooth scotch. All up an odd beer but not unpleasant - don’t know that it knows what it’s trying to be.
