On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a wonderfully fragrant farmhouse character, with rustic saison yeast and bugs. Flavour is subtly tart, with lots of rustic farmhouse notes, light bugginess, and a hint of tart citrus. Really great yeast profile here. Fragrant and rustic.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is full of chocolate, with a little cinnamon, and gentle farmhouse notes. Flavour is indeed like a chocolate version of Rankin: there's whiskey barrels, farmhouse funk, chocolate, and light cinnamon. Somehow, this works beautifully. Very good.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a clear copper amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma has a nice aged character, with plenty of oak and some pleasant copper notes. Flavour follows through with that old character: there's lots of oak, rustic farmhouse character, and light bugginess. Oaky, rustic and farmhouse-y. Very well-done biοΏ½re de garde.

Tasting at Salesforce
Black colour, persistent beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, bourbon, and some sour fruit. Good body strength, it's fairly dry, a bit too much carbonation; roasted malts, but without excess, and burnt sugars, some booze, some yeast action, funk, mild sourness.
Fairly good.

750ml @ Sales Force. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: some bourbon, some fruity acidity, inky, some chocolate notes. Taste: along the same lines, low acidity, lots of roasted malts and fruity notes. Overall: pretty good for the farmhouse stout.

Jet black with a decent light brown head. Light soured dark malts. Dark roast, sweet and light sour. Sourness is light and blends well with a touch of whisky. Solid.

750mL bottle, pours black with a medium light brown head. Aroma brings out some nice farmhouse funk and some bourbon barrels, with plenty of oakiness and spicy earthiness. Flavour is unusual, with loads of funky bugs, whiskey barrels, and a hint of tartness. I don't usually like buggy stouts, but this works surprisingly well. Excellent.

Oaky oak oak saison, nice sweet upfront, short tangy oak spiced finish. Fall? Winter is good enough!

Poured from 375mL bottle. Medium dark brown with beige head. Tobacco, light fruit, mild tartness, touch of leather, subtle chocolate. Much too tart for an adambier. Disappointing.
