Bottle from the Fellowship of Beer. Pours cola brown opaque. Thin foamy beige head disappears almost instantly. Aroma has cacao and a rose sweetness but the core is bitter coffee and liqourice. Flavourwise it's sweeter than the aroma suggested it would be. Molasses and floral notes. Develops a cacao and espresso bitterness. More floral/fruity than bitter but not overly sweet or perfumed. Light-medium at best. Slick. Very thin for the style. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

From da Fellowship Of beer homes. Clear amber. Foamy white head. Decent lacing. Aroma has y2adt and malts sweetness... skunky or something. And some fruit. Flavourwise it has citrus sourness with a vinous streak. Underlying malts - doughy and earthy. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Fruity saison. Nice but doesn't particularly impress, unlike 2024 if I remember correctly.
