330ml bottle from John’s Beer & Wine, St Ives. Pours black with roasted coffee aroma. Taste is yeasty, sweet, some roasted nuttiness and cocoa with a touch of spice. Interesting.

33cl bottle from beer52.com. A rather murky mahogany pour with a fast fading white head; rather strange aroma of wet straw mingled with chocolate; lively in the mouth with a refreshing spritzy feeling, but then weighed down by the chocolatey malts. A rather odd combination, not sure it works.

On tap at the Bath Brew House, Bath. Dark brown colour thick off white head. The aroma is roast malt, fruit and a touch of spiciness. The taste has a bit of chocolate and coffee, i didn’t get from the aroma. Decent is slightly fizzy body.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - chestnut with some orange chinks. Nice head. Nose - chocolate orange and I’m trying to imagine some light spice but haven’t convinced myself it’s there. Taste - creamy chocolate, light smoke note. A bit of pineapple and spice coming through towards the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced creamy finish. Overall - definitely more on the stout side than on the saison.

Bottle from Cornelius. Deep brown body with a medium beige head. Light lacing. Aroma of coffee, fig and banana bread. Flavour of caramel, yeast and coffee. Medium body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. Unusual and interesting. Reminds me of a Dunkel meets Dubbel.
