On tap at 30th street. Pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is roast malts chocolate coffee and some licorice. Taste is as the aroma with a touch of smoke and some vanilla.

22 oz bottle. Deep orange amber with a small but dense off-white head. Big malty carmelized aroma and flavor. Muted hop notes, like it had "aged" and toned down. I was expecting a much bigger hop presence.

Thanks Arianna,
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy golden burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of a white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a decent sporadic yet spider web lacing.
The smell had a nice balance of citrus sweet hops, light bitter, slight tart and having a decent yeasty / breadiness.
The taste was mainly sweet with the nice bready / yeasty coming back to balance in a really nice way. The citrus seemed fairly subdued but was there in a decent balanced sort of way.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. There’s a citrusy aftertaste leading into a nice crisp citrus finish.
Overall, what a wonderful saison that I know I would have again.

Pours gold into a snifter. White head with medium retention. Mild caramel aromas. Medium bodied with sweet toffee and bread front to back. Little to no hop presence. Tastes old and stale.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, no bottle dating. Pours fairly pitch black color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, light coffee, herbal, grass, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt and earthy hop notes; with good strength. A bit too perfumy on hops in the nose. Taste of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, light char, herbal, grass, and roasted earthiness. Fair amount of roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, light char, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and robustness of dark/roasted malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a good roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, moderately creamy, and slightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good stout style. Good robustness, balance, and complexity of dark/roasted malt and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth to drink for the ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Draft. Extremely dark brown color, small brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate, espresso, subtle vanilla. Taste has vanilla, coffee, light licorice. A bit boozy but OK

Botella de 65 cl en el lúpulo en marzo de 2012. Estilo belga con sabores dulces y una buena sensación alcohólica proporcionada por sus 11 vol. Ligero amargor. Buena.

Large sample on 14th July at the Clay Oven during an Indian food and beer tasting evening. This poured a good golden colour, slight haze though as I got to the bottle late on. Hop nose and taste, mildly citrusy with piney hints in the aroma. Sweeter in the mouth than the aroma suggested, but this is still a hoppy brew first and foremost. Enjoyable.
