7.5/10
Can purchased from Café de Oude Sluis, Rotterdam. A black saison, not very typical even as a black version of a sasion, still nice. Strong on dark malt and toffee, mild roast, some dark fruit, slightly boozy. Wood and even more caramel in aftertaste.

0.75 l bottle from the brewery's web shop best before December 2030. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently roasty and slightly fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, some licorice and a touch of dark fruits. Heavily sweet, malty, quite roasty, gently bitter, slightly boozy and a little fruity taste of praline, mocha, some licorice, hints of roasted hazelnut and traces of dark fruits, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly powdery and moderately boozy finish. Full body, thick and oily mouthfeel, flat. Very rich and saturating brew, not overly complex or refined though. Tasty, but so far maybe the worst bottle brew.

CBJ tasting, thanks to me for the can. Near clear deep amber beer, tidy tan head. Smooth and mildly viscous palate, modest fine carbonation. Soft caramel malts, good malt cream. Ripe fruits and estery sweetness. Modest bourbon barrel, a little vanilla and some decent bourbon soaked ripe fruits. A modest alcohol spice on the mildly dry finish. A tasty and rich BA quad.
