16oz can, no date. A bit of a gusher coming out of the can. Definitely a lot more than normal head when I pour into a keg-shaped glass. That head eventually fades into nothing. This tells me that all those spices messed up head retention and maybe made it overcarbonated? Either way, a dark amber color, weird again. Generic belgian aroma with sweetness and dough but only moderate esters. Its all sweet tea sort of. Flavor is similar with lots of generic autumnal spices coming through. Despite its flaws I kind of keep drinking it because everything mixes well enough that I am not disturbed as I drink. I wouldn't recommend but I am finished all 16oz.

Draft at RnH-East. Murky darker orange-brown color with a small tan head. Vegetal and spice. Banana, clove, and yeast. Bit of earth. Kind of an odd mix, but it works okay. Tingly mouthfeel.

Draught @ The Half Pint. Clear dark amber with small foamy off-white head, caramel aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter delicious spicy malt taste with a bit of salt, smooth body, longish spicy finish. Smooth and tasty though the saison characteristics are not there.

Draught at Hop Haus, 12/12/15.
Deep copper-amber liquid is clear with a beige head atop that is small and moderately retained.
Not much in the nose....brown sugar, maybe a hint of cinnamon with plenty of earthiness and light herbal hop notes. No alcohol or flaws, however.
Sweet in the mouth, with ample carbonation and a very sticky/nearly syrupy texture. Sweet notes of caramel, brown sugar, starchy vegetables and vanilla with light cinnamon and a touch of black pepper. Some mildly bitter hops and a bit of earthiness are the only things keeping this from being cloying. Not underfermented, but the malt selection (there are like 4 different types of cara malts in this thing) is ridiculous on top of adding the squash as well. Difficult to drink much of it. Little/no saison aspects either.
