On draught at the tap room. Pours inky black with a medium foamy beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoked malt, yeast and coffee. Medium body with flavors of burnt malt, dark chocolate, coffee and earthy yeast. The finish is roasty with a malty aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Bottle thanks to LKS. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, roasted malt, tangy dark fruits, jammy berry, liquorice, treacle and umami. The aroma is smooth, rich roasted malt, sweet molasses, tangy fruits, jammy berry, some fruity acidity, roasted malt, touch of alcohol and light spice with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Interesting and pretty enjoyable.

(Thanks, Shawn! "macboost") Bottle. A- Rye bread, caramel, molasses, grapes, dark fruits. A- Mahogany color, clear liquid, beige head. T- Caramel, grape, dark fruits, malty, slightly bitter, black pepper, rye bread. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, O- Different than any saison I’ve ever had. Decent enough but didn’t wow me by any means. A unique blend of flavors. Almost like a blend of a saison and a barleywine. Tastes a lot heavier than it is.
