Super dark, fine medium head, super coffee and lightly-Choco (malt?) nose, wow big coffeeness. Flavor is infinitely smooth and long, excellent lightly-molasses earthy bitterness at the end. "Only" mid complexity but so easy to drink. Excellent!

Draught @ Franklin Tap, Chicago IL (Dec 2025). Clear dark brown with red highlights, small frothy beige head, caramel-maple/molasses aroma, low carbonation, mildly sweet lightly woodsy caramel, alcohol undertones, dark chocolate maple syrup, smooth thin body, long finish. Boozy but pleasing.

Smooth, malty and caramely with some rye notes, toffee, hints of prunes, figs, raisins, syrup, woody oakiness, barrel, earthiness and hints of vanilla. Nicely balanced and complex slow sipper, has mellowed compared to previous vintages fresh

Can. Near clear reddish amber beer, small bubbly tan head that doesn't last. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malt base, a light creamy sweetness with a pleasing toffee caramel depth. Bourbon barrelling brings a richness but refreshingly not overly dominant. The strawberry works incredibly well. Strawberry jam richness but not sweetness, a little strawberry tang. Airy smooth finish. Yeah, that'll do! Lovely balance of malts, barrelling and fruit! Could drink a lot of this.

From Beer Drop, filled April 22nd 2026.
Pours a lightly hazed pale gold, plenty of foam that is long lasting with excellent lacing.
Smell is hoppy, spicy, coriander and clove, pretty intense.
Taste is also intense. Yeasty with esters, clove, coriander, hop bitterness, feeling a bit boozy.
Medium bodied, good Saison here but no need to drink this again.
