On tap at Fair Isle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Aroma is full of really pithy cherries, gentle oak, and rustic saison yeast. Flavour is tart, with lots of intensely tart and deep pitted cherries, some bugs, and light oak. Intense tart cherries that work real well. Very good.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of farmhouse funk, rustic saison yeast, and some earthiness from the mushrooms. Flavour is moderately acidic, with citrus, some earth fungal notes, rustic saison yeast, and moderate funk. Carbonation is fittingly high, finishing rustic and citric. Unique and wonderfully constructed.

Dark brown, dark fruits and big rich malts, slight tartness. Not bad for a dark beer with sourish thoughts.

375mL batch 2 bottle, drunk 11/21/25, as pictured.
Smells fantastic as I'm pouring. Just dripping with rich, lovely, authentic, Dupont-like Sacch and gentle oak. Rustic grain with a healthy dose of honey and cracker-like character. Pear, apple, black pepper, with none of the unwanted stuff whatsoever (banana, clove, white pepper, bubble gum).
Flavor mimics the excellent nose nicely. Gentle but ample acidity balancing a chewy, wheat-like texture with good malt depth and attenuation. Complex, balanced, flavorful, Belgian saison that doesn't go overboard on the mixed culture or oak.
