At the brewery as 2015 Vintage Nun: pours a pale color with a ehite head. Barrel, funk, and yeast. Taste is lightly sour, funky, and vwry woody.

At the source: pours a pinkish orange with a white head. Aroma is light flowers and yeast. Taste is a light saison with some floral hints. Nothing too crazy.

750ml bottle from Tavour. Gusher, first I've had in a long time. Luckily I released the cork very slowly so only lost a couple ounces. Nose is cloves, yeast, and caramel. Murky yellow gold with a big, lightly lacing, off white head. Flavor is lightly sweet and yeasty.

I have been pleasantly surprised with Adelbert's before so what the hey, let's give Black Rhino a try. This 750 ml bomber was picked up at a supermarket in the DFW area this past summer. Now on the coldest day of the year I pull the cork and tilt into my New Belgium snifter. It delivers a dark, almost black liquid with a finely bubbled, straw-colored head that thins out promptly. The scent is light fruit, perhaps apricot, malt and cereal, actually not bad. The taste, a bit unusual, sort of a mix between a stout and a Belgian. A hint of coffee, the maltiness again,yellow raisin and grain. No bitterness. Much more subdued than the imperial stouts and Belgian ales I like. But then it is 5.6% abv, practically a session beer. Buy again, probably not, but I will enjoy this bottle.

Bottle at Mikeys Christmas party, thanks to Erika
