Bottle. Pours a hazy very dark brown with a creamy light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a rich sweet raspberry (hint of tartness) note with a nice backing of dark grains and a bit of sweet dark bread. Flavor has more of the sweet raspberry with some light dark grains that add some balance.

Bottle received in trade. Thank you bytemesis! Pours reddish black with a small dark chocolate brown head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is sweet and malty with roasted malts, high quality dark chocolate, burnt raisins, caramel, vanilla fudge, salty soy sauce, sherry, roasted coconut, banana bread, sweetened coffee and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and malty with roasted malts, high quality dark chocolate, moist soil, charred wood, brown sugar sweetened dark roast coffee, raisins in rum, sherry, vanilla fudge, caramelized almonds, coconut milk, banana bread, cookie dough, hay and very subtle hints of iron. Mouthfeel is soft, velvety, round and near full bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, high quality dark chocolate, charred wood, raisins in rum, vanilla fudge, coconut shavings, sherry and dark roast coffee. Complex, elegant and very tasty! Amazed that the rather intriguing barrel blend doesn’t get messy.

(Thanks Peter "russellcrow") Bottle. A- Beef jerky, hay. A- Golden color, clear liquid, white head. T- Beef jerky, meaty, yeasty, grains. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, funky finish. O- A very different saison than anything I have ever had. A lot of meaty flavors. Reminded me a lot of liquid jerky. It wasn’t horrible, but it was different from anything I could have imagined.

~10 oz draft at the Martin City Brewing Company Pub in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is black with a touch of brown and a khaki small head. Nice lacing left behind on the glass. The aroma is roast, soy along with some sweet brown sugar and dark chocolate. The taste is the roast, soy and sugar cane of the nose. Decent balance of flavors. The palate is medium to heavy bodied, mouth coating and a soy sweet finish. Solid made beer for a style that I am just not that into at the moment.

Big thanks to Bob for this bottle! Pours a hazy amber brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of sweet grains and red wine with a bit of caramel underlying. Flavor has a interesting combination of dry red wine, sweet grains and toffee that seem a touch muddled.
