Slow gusher. Dark brown with massive uncontrollable head. Aroma and flavour have lots of malt complexity with dark chocolate and a fair hit of smokiness too. Finish has a rounded hop bitterness. The flavour is great but the over carbonation is a big error.

Bottle. Dark brown pour. Nice aroma of zesty orange, peach, citrus, chocolate, yeast and coffee. Taste has bitter citrus, orange zest, creamy peach, chocolate, coffee, licorice, yeast and some caramelised malt. Very bitter and hoppy, tastes American instead of Belgian, which is good for an india saison. Well done, tasty beer.
