A full off-white head with ample lacing on a rich caramel-coloured body. The nose lets you know the range of tastes to come - mint, cardamom, lavender and brown sugar in the forefront. Lots of elements to the taste profile as well. Rich toffee, lavender, nutmeg, Belgian yeast, mint, pepper and a touch of licorice are all there. Some candied fruit add a rich backdrop to it all.

Keg at Brasseur du Temps, Gatineau. Cloudy brownish amber, small head. Weird spicy nose with vanilla and nutmeg. Mid sweet with medium-full body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Spearmint and caramel combines with cardamom before a resiny bitter finish. Complicated stuff I can’t wrap my head around.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of caramelized sugar with some spices is interesting but not what I was expecting. Taste is also dominated by caramelized malt with some residual sugar notes and some notes of Christmas cookie notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation. A bit heavy for my taste with a bit too much residual sugar notes but enjoyable nonetheless.

Nice saison. Definitely taste the cardamom here, with some of the thyme and spices, even pepper and lemon. Finishes a little sour. Pours orange with decent head and lacing. Comes together well and makes for an interesting drink. Tap at brewpub.

Enjoyed at the pub itself. Pours a cloudy amber colour with an off-white head that is creamy and leaves decent lacing. Fruity (raisins) nose with hints of mint, spices (cardamon maybe?) and Belgian yeast. Medium-bodied with a mild dry finish. The taste is the same as the aromas, but harder to taste the mint. It refreshes things though. Quite interesting overall, reminding me of Unibroue Édition 2004 (which I loved).

A hazed dark amber saison with a thin white nice. In aroma, a smooth grassy malt with curacao, smooth fruity esters, very nice. In mouth, herbaceous malt, curacao, smooth herbal hops, sustained bitterness, very nice. Tasted at Bières des Neiges et Vins d’Hiver, Fev. 17 2012.
