Hazy red grape colour beer, tidy pinky mauve cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Saison herb immediately obvious, as is some evaporating alcohol that both cools and warms. Red wine comes through on the back end, light but fairly clear and with some nice red and black berry elements but curiously piney. Smooth finish. Odd. I like the idea but delivery is only half way there for me. The red wine aspect needs to be a lot bolder for a saison that is north of 12% . It's interesting whilst never tugging on my heart strings.

Opaque dark brown beer, a few dark tan bubbles don't come anywhere near to forming a head. Palate is suspiciously light for the very hefty abv and is almost flat carbonation wise. Smooth dark malts, a kind of cheap tasting dark chocolate. Sweet candy fruits and some mild esters. Whisper of sweet coffee. Smooth finish. Ummmm.. yeah, no alcohol spice no alcohol heat but this is 17%? Nah I don't think so. Just a sweet and flat Impy that is clunky but not something I find myself actively disliking. Curious affair.

Murky amber beer, thin head. Fruity aroma. Flavour has fruit, toasty malt, a bit of hop. Earthy malt finish with the fruit lingering as well. Not bad.
