Deep dark brown coloured body with a very thick, and super long-lasting tan head,about six centimetres tall. Aroma of alcohol, hay, limes, grass, wheat, grain, rye, toasted malt and a dose of light spices - quite strong throughout. Medium-bodied; Strong roasted malt and rye flavours at first with a lot of grain, some heavier lime and citrus notes as well with a dose of toffee and caramelised sugars towards the end. Aftertaste shows the grainy flavour with a lot of spices, some limes, rye, grass and hay notes, but the strongest by far are the black pepper notes which give this a big kick and deeper flavour than I'd expect from this, and given the specialty grains and deeper malt notes, this one hits hard and stays hard throughout with a significant alcohol punch towards the end as well. Overall, a strong and deep beer that shows some nice saison-y notes, but more of a herb/spice beer that goes well and is nice enough to be variant from the 'typical' saison. Nice to sample! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 16-March-2019 for US$2,79 sampled in my hotel room here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on 26-May-2019.

Lime nose. Bronze, thin head. Currant, thyme. Light to medium body, soft carbonation.

$2.90 pint can, Wine Warehouse. Pours cola brown, perhaps darker, with a soft beige head. Aroma is lime, earth, pumpernickel. Flavor is tart line, metallic notes, bread crush, earth, roasted malt. Strange, but not bad.
