You might call it a classic new world saison, with plenty of citrus blending with more traditionally saison characteristics. There's loads of pepper, plus lemon, stone fruit, melon, straw and honey, and it hides its alcohol brilliantly, with the exception of a light fire at the back of the throat. The only drawback is a slight aspirin aftertaste.

On tap at Catfish, Fitzroy. Some caramel and malt notes. Pours a thin brown, with no real head. This is very undercarbonated and thin in the mouth. The salted caramel is understated, and what remains is just an undernourished, somewhat bready ale. I had high hopes. Did get slightly better as it warmed.

500ml bottle. Black as coal. Thick and creamy. Luscious chocolate nose with hints of vanilla. Very well-rounded effort with very sbtle coffee notes, but good balance of choc and vanilla. They've shown restraint here in terms of the "imperial" ramp up.
