Tap@Oud Arsenaal. Smells like a meal. Dark chesnut - huge brown whipped cream head. Sugary malt base - candied fruit- doppelbocklike - light roast and nut. On the sweet side, but I have a sweet tooth and like brews like this. Fruity nose retronasal. Flattening oily mouthfeel.

Best before 23/08/08. Pours a slightly hazy gold into a tulip. Fluffy conglomerate head leaves lacing as it recedes. Horseblanket aromas. Fizzy and sharp with a lasting spicy/sweet finish.

Pour is a clear yellow with a huge white head.. Aroma is very spicy and lots of corriander. Flavor is super fruity with notes of orange and banana with some vanilla and pepper. Does not look real good but it is tasty and satisfying. Sure there are better saisons out there but this is a good intrroducton to the style and easy on the wallet.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting on 8/16/06: Dark reddish-brown color with a thin and creamy off-white head. Minimal lacing. Mild malt and caramel aroma. Medium-bodied with a roasty character. Malt, dark fruit and chocolate flavors are present. The finish is tart fruit at first, then sweeter fruit and malt. Above average.

(Bottled, Akkurat, Stockholm, 18 July) Colour is dark brown, almost black, with a firm beige head. Nose is roasted with chocolate (dark and bitter) and coffee, some hops as well. Taste is roasted and malty with coffee, chocolate truffels (the ones that are rolled in cocoa) and raisins. Rather bitter hoppy character as well. A bit sweet, like Belgian stouts tend to be. Body is wonderfully smooth, like liquid dark bitter chocolate. This was a very nice surprise. Lovely beer.
