On tap at the Florida Brewers Guild BeerFest 2009. Pours very dark and nearly black with a nice mocha head that maintains a ring of brown foam against the inside radius of the glass. The aroma has some roasty malts, chocolate malts and then what seems like Belgian candi sugar and black licorice. In between those aromatic notes I also get persistent dark fruity esters. The taste begins sweet and then moving modestly roasty with chocolate malts and a touch of black licorice. By midway a solid layer of dark fruity esters surface at near equal strength as the roasted and chocolate malts. The fruity esters are full of raisins, plums and ripe cherries that take the taste to the finish to meet up with a pleasing level of dark chocolate creating a moderately sweet finish.

On tap at the Florida Brewers Guild BeerFest 2009. Pours a hazy brown copper with an off white head. It has a very nice aroma with sticky chewy malts and thick resiny pine hops. A long draw brings up even pine hop bitterness and faint grapefruit for as long as you want to keep pulling it in. The taste seems to start off neutral and then becomes malty sweet for a moment or two before full pine hop flavor flows into pine hop bitterness to midway. The finish has fading notes where a brief moment of faint grapefruit join the pine hops as the experience comes to closure.

On tap at the Florida Brewers Guild BeerFest 2009. Pours pure gold with a little bit of haze and decent white head. The aroma seems a bit earthy as well as containing mild spices to go along with apple and pear fruity sweetness with an under current of yeast notes. The taste is kind of spicy with apple-like fruit notes. Overall it comes across pretty sweet up front followed quickly by coriander and yeast spices to go along with surfacing notes of Belgian candi sugar and more apples to midway. As the finish approaches a hint of citrus lemon acidity is noticed and aids in evening this out into the finish. All the flavor notes play well together for a pleasing Saison.

Tap FBGF. Pours dark brown with off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts. Taste, roasted malts, caramel strong emphasis on licorice, giving the beer a very Belgina cnadi like palate followed by a light roasted malt finish.Some dark fruits are laso to be noticed. Overall an excellent beer, not sure if it is that close to the Imp Porter style.

Dark brown with a nice head. Light aroma has coffee and chocolate. Light cocoa on the palate. Light malt accent with hints of nuts. More of a regular porter, and not a very enticing one at that.
