Aroma had fruitiness, peach, lightly cardboard and spiciness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness, peach, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, fruity and bitter. A pleasant fruity saison.

Dark brown pour, some brown foam on the top. Nose is simple, light soy there, tastes dry, ashy a bit, nice dark chocolate, bitter chocolate. Nice and enjoyable.

pitch black color. Light brown head. Nice dark chocolate, treacle’s, Shiraz, dark fruit, dry, roasted malt. High carbonation for the style, roasted malt, light body, good oak and wine character. Nice stuff, though not super well balanced.
