Tasting at Matt’s
Brown color. The smell of spices is so strong that it smells like soap, cassia and cardamom being the most offensive. Malt and some chocolate flavor; moderate sweetness; the exaggerate spicing is offensive to the flavor and to the world of beermaking; astringent final.
If you load your beer with spices, you don’t show brewing skills; if you lack brewing skills, you hide the flaws with shit.
Undrinkable fake brew.

Light brown and a cloud this has cardamom, star anise sort of spice aromas. There is a lot of cardamom and a light cocoa malt character. It’s a spiced ale, not so much farmhouse. OK body, some dusty yeast notes. The spice is quite dominant, and overwhelms the rest, but really the base beer doesn’t offer a ton. More sugars would be nice to take the spices across the palate. Before you spice, you must nail the base beer.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of cardamom, with some earthiness and a touch of saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of cardamom upfront, followed by a very earthy saison character. Dominated by the cardamom. It's not overly pleasant, but it's decent.
