[12oz can of Peppercorn Saison, from Total Wines, Naples, Fl.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a billowing off-white head and heavy carbonation; yeasty aroma; sweet grainy taste; with a herbal bitterness and no real sign of peppercorns. Odd.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can poured into a snifter. Aroma is rich cocoa, medium body, oily texture, well carbonated, and little lacing. Taste cocoa and milk chocolate. Lighter than most impy stouts, but I really like this one.

Can, from The Wine Source. Clear dark brown with faint reddish highlights, very small frothy beige head, mocha-maple aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter maple syrup infused coffee taste, bit of chocolate, thin body, long syrupy finish. The maple syrup aftertaste is a bit too much.
