Bottle dated May 21, 2014. Aroma is fruity with a lot of stone fruit, pineapple, tropical fruit and light citrus. Light white wine notes and oak tannins. Medium light phenolic notes. Pours a hazy, bright, copper color with a medium large, moderately thick, white head that slowly recedes. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with some light grain notes and sweetness. Medium pineapple and stone fruit notes with a bit of cherry. Some white wine and grape notes with a bit of oak tannins. Medium bitterness with some moderate phenolic notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice Saison. Nice barrel and wine notes with good yeast character. Phenolics are nice as is the citrus character. I guess the phenolics are slightly medicinal but its very faint.

375 ml bottle thanks to reggiedunlop, thanks for the opportunity! Bottle 21 Jan, 2014 with a number of 208/900. Pitch black with very thin tan head. Aroma is sour oak, red grapes, old coffee, blackberry juice.
Funky barrel has taken over to the point of infection. Raunchy sour oak with notes of vinegar and sweaty dirty socks. Wow... Not the first impression I was hoping for here. This goes down the drain. Thanks Kerry??? Bad bottle I guess.
