A light haze on this gold beer, small tidy cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, sweet. Floral herb, a trace of citrus, light fruity mustard, floral coriander. Light tangy finish sees everything coming together rather well. An unusual Saison, still very much a Saison but with bells and whistles. Nice one.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 26/09/24. Light black verging on extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is smoked malts, spice, dark fruit rinds, cake mix, burnt toffee. Taste comprises chocolate shavings, light bonfire, medicinal twang, spice, booze, charr, ashen nip, toffee, dark fruit rinds, roasted bite, peated notes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a smoky close and balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid BA peated affair.

Op tap bij Borefts '24. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Zoethout, turf, gebrand, licht alcoholisch, vind de body vrij dun maar is niet storend hier, veel invloed van het Kilchoman-vat en dat is 1 van m'n favoriete whisky's, heerlijk. Met meer body was dit een ultieme topper geweest.
