Backlog August 2019. Clear golden body under a big, dense off-white head. Nice classic spicy Sasion aroma with yeast and esters. Taste is fresh, light fruity, smooth, mild malt. Medium body and average aftertaste. Nice, refreshing, quite straight forward classic Saison.

Crowler at home, from BD TH, 20/11/20. Pink to raspberry pour with a well presented lasting light crimson cap. Nose is strawberry pips, wheaten notes, grass, toasted malts, grains. Taste comprises strawberry jam, light candied fruit notes, straw, berry sherbets. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Decent for a fruited number ... I wouldn't say the strawberry is artificial at all. Nice palate cleanser.

Best before 07/2024, Batch 389, 330ml bottle purchased at the La Cave A Bieres d’Etre Gourmet (online beer shop); brewed with Trappist yeast
AROMA: loads of toasted sugars on the nose, dark sugars (impressions of molasses), caramel candy, hints of butterscotch, dry fruits like prunes & figs, indeed impressions of Belgian strong dark or quad; toasted bread, sweet bread crust toped with spices (glühwein like feel), bread dough underneath, hints of red wine (very soft tartness) & subtle berries, impressions of wood soaked in red wine, light sweet chocolate, pear candy, mild savory feel, no obvious roast profile (roast bitterness), very mild hop profile with notes of earth & flowers, no sign of alcohol;
TASTE: light carbonation, medium body, slightly thin on the edges, moderately oily & silky mouthfeel, fairly dry finish with a lasting bitterness from roasted malts (quite opposite to the aroma); light sweet onset of caramel & slick butterscotch (mild), red candy like esters, burnt bread crust, medium strong roasted bitterness of chicory, bitter barley coffee, hints of burnt wood/charcoal, soft red wine note, dry pears, subtle to very low metallic & mineral presence, also dry wood & faint lipstick; low spiciness from the alcohol, medicinal touch, subtle hints of sweet tobacco and faint ash in the aftertaste;
OVERALL: an interesting combo of Trappist yeast & Imperial Stout; the aroma is indeed quad like with a restrained roast profile but flavors show the roasted character as expected from the IS; as it warms up more Belgian character creep in the form of fruity esters (especially pear) and well integrated roast; enjoyable sipper
