Small cream-coloured head, disappearing over cloudy red-foxy to amber beer. Fruity, sherry, oxydation as from old wine, vinous; woodbarrels for alcohol. Sharp-ish, but pleasing, as if a rare vintage fortified wine is opened... SAISON they said?! Totally different flavour, at odds with the nose; dry, bitterish, slightly spicy. Retronasal, however, some of the former aromas return: vinous, dried fruit (apricots, peaches?). Also a bit medicinal - sparadrap. MF is light even empty, strange for a 7.8% ABV beer. Carbonation more felt than observed. This might be Authentique as well as Saison de Blaton but it is NOT an authentic Saison - and that’s a fact. Having said that, it isn’t a bad beer by half, even if I think the MF too thinnish.

Huge brown-tan head, slowly receding over brown-black beer. Volatile, but remarkable fruity-light sweetish aroma as from billberries. After that, rather sweet-roasted flavour, as dark soft candi sugar, molasses, (scorched) syrup. Roasted peanuts. More classical flavours in the taste: roasted/burnt grains and malts, restricted amount of restsugars; roasted nuts. Overall rather sweet, little bitterness. Bit ashes retronasal, warming up, coffee. Feels probably better bodied than it really is; grist-like slickness. Sweeti-ish stout, decent.

75cl bottle, BB end of 201?, shared with Tomaz. Cuivrée, col beige disparaissant très rapidement. Arôme d"épices, sucre brun avec une belle profondeur citronnée et ce côté fruité rouge. Palais malté, épices rappelant le girofle, malt grillé/caramel, grains sucre candi presque pain d’épices. Le tout est épais avec ce profile végétale/herbacé, cabosse et cet aspect fermenté pâtissier. Complexe avec un palais qui se développe au gré de la dégustation pour laisse un fruité rouge agréable; cerise, prune. Le tout se mélange bien aux notes maltées. Une belle bière qui m’a bien surpris. Facile à boire et se distance un peu d’une saison typique de base.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of yeast, dusty hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry finish.
