Half pint at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange color, with a small, white head. The aroma is corn syrup, rose water, cloves, and apricot. Overly sweet, with a strange, acrid bitterness. Light body, with a thin and oily mouthfeel. This is a poor, overly sweet saison.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Black, with a small, tan head. The nose is strong coffee, bittersweet chocolate, pecans, vanilla, and syrup. Very sweet, with a light bitterness. Medium to heavy body, creamy, and a bit astringent. This is a really coffee-forward beer, and really tasty.
