Okay, fruity and saison-ish without being overly sweet. Gentle notes of grass and vanilla and tart peach, underlined by grain and a modest flora bitterness. Yeasty on the back end. Not my thing. Kinda stinky, too—the nose is rather off-putting.

Black with creamy head. Aroma has sweet Bourbon and sweetened creamy coffee. Flavour has lots of roasted bitterness to counteract the sweeter elements coming from the barrel. Very deep and rich.

Bottle sample during Gents Bierfestival '21 - shared with Tderoeck and Nathan.
Brune foncée presque noire, léger filament huileux doré au verre, col fin beige/moka.
Arôme est plaisant, relançant ce bon bouquet des classiques IRS BA US, ici de belles notes de malts - chocolaté, grillé, caramel voire toffee avec un bouquet légèrement fleuri sur un rétro-nasal vanillée. Retrouve aussi un côté pomme verte.
Palais est épais avec une belle effervescence qui vient mettre tout en concordance - malté, léger chocolaté, boisé, vanille, petit côté rappelant presque un Apple Brandy avec ce côté pomme verte, petite touche épicée de fin sur la cannelle.

12oz bottle. Really nice stuff, quite true to style. Caramel, red fruit, chocolate. Full bodied but quite drinkable for the ABV. Great mouthfeel. All around excellent.

Few cans at home. Ha dtontry a Trappist pumpkin. Pretty orange colored and few fingers of sudsy head. Nose is light spicing. Tastes very subdued of faint pumpkin and touch of cinnamon and cloves. Little pie filling sweetness at all. Pleasant but not really all that flavorful n

33 cl bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Hazy golden amber colour with a lumpy white head. Fruity aroma with yeasts - pears, banana and a spiced note. A herbal bitterness. Taste is light sweet. Medium bodied. Drying fruity finish. Fine and well balanced American in Belgian style.
