Not what I was expecting at all. A dark saison. Aroma had yeast and toasted grain. Flavor is dry, yeast at first, followed by malt flavor that reminds me of a funnel, but not nearly so sweet. Dry, very earthy aftertaste. I liked this. Carbonation is hood, with a tall head.

12oz bottle. Deep unfiltered brown body. I see this as more of a Biere De Garde than a Saison. Heavy, deep brown malt tones, hints of mollases, not as much super sweet as full and rich. Raisins, brownies, saison yeast esters in the aroma. Sort of like a good Belgian Brown at times in malt selection and strength, but a little hefty, clumsy, bland in the mouthfeel. Grew on me as I sipped at it, pretty good.
