Big thanks to Sparky for sharing this. The bottle pours mahogany with a tan head of foam. The aroma is malt sweetness and then a thicket of smooth sugary bacon with a light saison yeasty spiciness in the background. The taste offers up smooth yummy subtle bacon goodness followed by a modest degree of various saison like spicy notes. It ends with a pleasing mild dryness. I like the way the smooth bacon mingles with the saison notes. Nice stuff.

On cask. Pours with a murky yellow hued body with a small white head. Aromas are citrusy, tropical fruit, waxy peppers, medium estery and grainy. Flavors show some heat, but nothing gripping. Resiny, grassy hops, grainy, medium body. Lower carbonation. Pretty mild. Not bad, but I’d rather have one of Julian’s regular IPAs.
