Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark amber color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some chestnuts, some earthy to floral tones, light herbal to grassy tones, some allspice and a little bit of funky accent too
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to an odd sweet to funky to earthy quality; finishes herbal, earthy and nutty
Texture: between light and medium bodied, somewhat sessionable? hmmmm, maybe. Light smoothness with the expected dryness on the tongue
Overall: what an odd beer, but I'm not entirely sure if this is a true saison, maybe some sort of conglomeration between one and a Belgian ale where the true saison qualities end up getting pretty muted? Something like that.

Pours unclezr blonde. Small white head. Smell is estery. Full, heavy. Taste is sharp, sweet, honey, estery, mild chestnuts. OK.

Nice crisp amber and deep coppered coloured body with a good three to four centimetre tall rich tan head. Aroma of rich nuts, earth, grain, alcohol toffee and yeast with a good bit of astringent flavour and pungency near the end. Medium-bodied; Mild malty flavour of earth and toffee with a big dose of chestnuts or pecans around the edges with a bit of a yeastie funk and some subdued sweetness from caramel and brown sugar. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from the caramel and toffee with a pleasant malty flavour with no pungency and it all finishes with a nice chestnut flavour that goes down quite easily. Some yeast funk is around and leaves a good light saison-like flavour, but not much at all - the nuts are way more strong. Overall, a nice beer with some good flavours and a smooth sweetness without much funk or any astringency at all. My only complaint is that this isn't really a saison by any means, but it doesn't mean it's not a great beer. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$6,49 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 25-January-2018.

500mL capped bottle. Poured into Engelszell glass, which is an interesting shape. Not much head, a thick, mildly murky, thick marmalade color. This isn't fresh b/c I got at at discount at State Line Liquors. But, its held up well. Aroma is still airy but a little aged malt. Light fruits, maybe chestnut - not sure - a Belgian biscuit maltiness. Flavor is still lightly yeast fruit but low ester with some light mineralness and earthiness. Carbonated finish with a effervescent end. Its a nice Belgian ale, not a saison but a nice Belgian Ale.

50 cl bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is herbal, nutty. Walnut and earthy. Dry malty. Nutty and sweet malty finish.

Lively saison, strong Chestnut front, a bit too nutty for me but well made!

Total Wine, Fairfax bottle: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is ripe fruitiness, spiciness, yeastiness. Taste is pretty sweet. Lightly spicy. Not great.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Manassas, 8/2/16. Clear amber, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of orange juice. The taste is pale malt, orange juice, a bit of pith. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, juicy.

Pear and peach nose, thyme. Cloudy orange, thick yellow, little retention. Peach, clove, thyme. Unusually light body, easy carbonation. Not at all what I expected, but still good.
