Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with an off white cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is sark malts, spice, herb, stewed fruits.

Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close.
Decent for a cask lager effort.

Brewery draught, 10/3/25.
Clear, deep honey-golden. Persistent, creamy, white head.
Nose is soft pear and rich, honey. Clean and mildly spicy with no crude esters/phenols. Mostly malt, apple and pear esters with light black pepper phenols.
Rich and malty, especially for its size. Clean and snappy with a true saison quality. I don't think I get any clove at all. Seems they've really refined their brewing since Johnieee had it. Fruity, soft, flavorful and balanced. No bubble gum either.

Cask On, 3/30/24. Hint of haze. Auburn. Good-sized, off-white head. Good retention. Fruity, quite heavily yeasty. Very bready. Not much in the way of hop. Low toast. Lightly malty, still a bit yeasty in texture. Lightly bready, almost no hop, but no toastiness either. Just base malt, ester, and a hint of yeast and bitterness.

Can, huge thanks Travlr for sharing this with us at Ambasada on the RBESG23 pub crawl! Brown body, off-white head - not much of it. Flowery, spicy aroma with some caramel malt. Soft, flowery taste, malty as well - light caramel and tobacco, some phenolic touches, spicy. Nice enough!
