Tastes like brandy with a minimal aroma of saison, as to be expected. That being said its a decent beer, but hay notes only cone through in lightest of sense. Pours cloudy orange with OK head and lacing. Tap at meridian pint.

Full glass in a snifter at Mad Fox. Opaque brownish orange that clears up a bit with some haziness on the last few ounces. Off-white head. Aromas of brandy, red wine, bits of dark fruit, a little oak and vanilla. Tastes of brandy, red wine, oak, a bit of coconut and vanilla, apple and white grapes. Medium-light body with a dry and slightly tart finish. Medium-low carbonation. Barrel character dominates.
