Hazy medium golden colour, small frothy white head, fairly lasting, good lacing. Light sourish nose, smoked meat aroma develops slowly, bready malts, bit dough. Taste light sweet and slightly bitter, light smoked meat, herbal notes. Retronasal light smoky sensation, mild sweetbitter aftertaste with smoky and spicy notes, bit ashy and husky. Medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation, very peculiar and interesting brew.

Bottled 330ml (AbM)
"Left Bank Incognito Smoked Saison Gyle #79". Hazy orange color, mostly vanishing head. Yeasty, smoked aroma. Medium-bodied. Spicey, fruity (riped), smokeyness, grains and alcohol. Unbalanced. Mix of Saison yeast, heavy alcohol and smoke is not the most drinkable.

Taste is herbal and spicy, mildly smoky, notes of steamed vegetable, savoy, cabbage, celery, spignel, toasted white bread, subtle sweetness, a touch of alcohol.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours deep, dark brown with a creamy, tan head. Mellow roast in the aroma, slight chocolate tones, hints of ripe berries. Light to medium sweet flavour with more forward chocolate now, some bittersweet baking cocoa, scorched earth, raisin, plum. Light bodied with average carbonation and velvety carbonation. Nicely rounded on the finish, with further robust roasted malts, baking cocoa, ripe and lightly leathery dark fruits, berries, some bitter earth. Really solid overall.
