Hazy golden color. Spicy aroma, pepper with a hint of frankincense. Smooth mouthfeel, with some residual sweetness; nice yeast spiciness, peppery.
Very nice beer.

Red amber color with no head. It has the sweet and fruity mellow character of the Saison yeast used in the US, lightly vinous, concealing the alcohol.
Very cloying.

Very dark brown color. Aroma of dark bread, rye bread, some acetaldehyde too. Dry mouthfeel, dry roasty and dusty malt flavor.
Not bad, but unimpressive.

On tap at Tin Dog, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a reddish rings and a small beige head. Aroma is quite earthy, with Belgian yeast and earthy notes. Flavour is quite earthy, with filthy astringent earthiness upfront and medium Belgian yeast. Quite dirty, but it works well enough. An earthy black saison that has some flaws but is decent.

On tap at Tin Dog, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of Belgian yeast, some light farmhouse notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with farmhouse yeast and biscuity malt. Pretty ordinary and restrained, but not really authentic. Nothing special.

On tap at Tin Dog, pours a hazy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of red fruitiness, some candied sugar and light spiciness from the Belgian yeast. Flavour is much the same, but kind of off-putting, with cherry-like cough syrup, candied sugar and a hint of the Belgian yeast. It's mostly the cherry medicinal notes. Not good.

Draft 12 oz pour at the brewery. Rating from notes 8/22/15. Pours a beautiful orange copper color with a very active fizz head. Nice hop forward aroma. Flavor comes off a bit funky. Talking to the brewers, they say this is one of their only, non-belgian inspired beers, but I politely disagree. Hop finish, and hints of funk. Interesting pale.

Schooner at brewery. Interesting idea, very novel to me. Aroma is oatmeally with light Belgian sweetness (for style). A little ash. Flavor just plain, slightly sweet Belgian tripel. Its awesome.
