Location: Draft at Rock Bottom - Downtown, 6/25/14
Aroma: The nose is heavy boozy, wine barrels, and not much else
Appearance: Pours a murky dark orange color without much head or lace
Flavor: The flavor is all booze and wine, Saison flavors are completely overpowered
Palate: The body is okay, but it isn't great feel-wise either
Overall Impression: I didn't try the original version, but the barrel aged is a miss for me. What I want to taste in a Saison isn't here at all.

Sampler at the brewpub. Medium hazy gold-amber. OMG, alcohol syrup sugar smells like cheap grape vodka, fusel out the wazoo. Flavor has been striped of hops. Just astringent barrel alcohol wine beeriness. Aftertaste is really astringent. Just yuckiness.
