Pours an oily, translucent, black with some spitty, beige head. Nose of caramel, cake icing, cola, vanilla, malt. Sweet, malty flavor, raisins, caramel, chalky. Full, boozy finish. Needs a lot more time, it’s a little harsh.

333 c&c from Malt & Vine. Pours dirty dark gold with a 4 finger foamy white head. Light brett aroma with light pitted fruit. Med body or better. It’s earthy and lightly bretty with fruit. Slightly oaky. Better than many saisons.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very skunky, with loads of herbal, pot-like hops and some doughy malt. Flavour is very fresh, full of skunky, herbal hops, some pot, and a bit of doughy malt to back without really influencing the flavour. Well-crafted and highly drinkable. Surprised me that this is classified as an APA, not IPA.

Bottle: Deep brown and auburn color with a small creamy beige head. Nose is sweet of caramel malts and light florals. Flavor is sweet and robust with caramel, toffee, faded citrus hops, and chocolate. I let this sit in the cellar longer than I wanted to, but in it’s (presumably) more mellow state the flavor still comes through strong and well balanced.

375mL bottle, courtesy of julian, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is very yeasty, with lots of brett, moderate funk, a bit of white wine and a slight tang. Flavour is very yeasty and dry, with lots of brett, loads of dry white wine oak barrels and very subtle fruity tang. Very lively carbonation which is suitable for this one. Excellent saison.

Dark chocolate, burnt sugar, sweet, as usual; this vintage seems to have more liquorice, more salt than previous ones; the alcohol is strong, but not the bourbon flavour.

2012-09-21, bottle from CoOp Bellingham, as Kentucky Dark Star, 8-4-7-4-15=38
Dark color, almost black, with brownish head. The aroma is very nice, clearly vanilla oak first of all. Good chocolate flavor, medium sweet, with strong oak presence, sweet, vanilla, light alcohol and phenols.
A bit over the top, but not bad.

22 oz bomber courtesy of bvc. The pour is a mostly clear golden amber with a well formed three inch egg white head. Pretty lacing left behind as the head falls slowly. The aroma is floral and citrus fruit goodness. Behind the hops is a nice toasted malt character that shows a hint of sweetness. The taste reverses the nose, light caramel sweet toasted malt, the floral and mildly bitter citrus - a bit of clementine fruit and peel. Citrus is nice, has a bit of tart tang to it. The palate is medium bodied, lower soft carbonation, dry bitter finish and a nice mineral character develops in the aftertaste. Nice beer, would love to try this dead fresh on tap - I am sure the hops would be more pronounced in the taste. Cheers Brandon.

Had this thanks to starrdogg. Poured a pretty dark, nearly black color with a small light-brown head. Aroma was roasted malt character, some bourbon notes. Roasted characters in the flavor, with some dark malt characters and plenty of barrel notes to this one. Enjoyable brew, alcohol was pretty mellow, but I suppose I couldn’t really judge by the point I had this one.
