Draft at the brewpub - MA. Pours cloudy gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Big Belgian yeast aroma, some doughy malts, peppercorns, herbs. Big sweet flavor with sugary white bread, candi sugars, light bitter hay, some alcohol, yeast, wheat. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish with more sugary wheat bread, alcohol, saison yeast, dough. Not bad for what it is.

22 oz. bottle 2012 vintage. Black liquid with fleeting tan head. Aroma is a burst of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. The flavor is more of the same with coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Still has noticeable alcohol notes which really shocked me after nearly 12 months of cellar. I guess it should have sat another year? Maybe I built this up in my mind because it wasn’t mind blowing in the flavor department. Good and drinkable but nothing that I have to run to Western MA to get again.

On tap at ACBF 6/1/2013 Fruity roasty caramel toffee butterscotch mess. This has been an elusive brew for me I finally got to try it and I feel a little let down.
