Pours dark brown, looks very dark brown to black in the glass, with reddish hints if seen through light. Small to medium sized greyish head, recedes a bit too quickly and leaves little lacing. Quite good intensity in the aroma with a soft sugary (brown sugar) base and a bit of caramel; roasted notes in check in the overall balance but still quite expressive: dark bread, soft dark chocolate, a bit of coffee. Perhaps a hint of spiciness on the back of things. Taste notes more or less follow the aroma but the sugary component gets a bit too dominant and the roasted notes get quite subdued (coffee, especially, is barely detectable, which is surely not expected in a coffee stout). Taste intensity is still quite good. Quite some sweetness per style, partially compensated by not too timid dark malts acidity; still leaning towards sweetness, though not unpleasantly so. Medium to dense in body, not as dense as expected for the abv. Average, soft-bubbled carbonation. A semi-full, rather soft mouthfeel. A very typically belgian strong stout, with some highs and some lows; sort of liked it, but it didn't feel fully accomplished.

Deep red, quite translucent through light. Low to medium sized off-white, kind of slightly pinkish head, shows good enough retention and lacing. Average intensity in a clean, simple aroma: soft dough-like base, with a hint of wet wood feel to it, quite vivid sweet raspberry notes, a bit of refreshing lemony tartness. Taste notes follow the aroma pretty closely: soft, half dough-like, half lactic (low sourness) base, sweet raspberry notes, a bit of citric freshness. Medium sweetness, a bit of sourness to cut the sweetness (very little sourness for a berliner however), no detectable bitterness but the beer still feels nicely balanced by a clean profile and a decently dry finish. A bit of raspberry sweetness in the aftertaste. Pretty light in body, with average or slightly below average, delicately tingling carbonation; feels very easy to drink and kind of lively smooth. Overall: much more similar to a sweetened fruit lambic (in the likes of Lindemans or Belle-Vue ones) than to a berliner; not at all bad at that, it's simple, clean and nicely refreshing, but far from impressive or interesting.

2022 vintage bottle. Dark red to light brown pour, a bit opaque/murky. Light to medium sized head, the slightest off-white, shows good enough retention, little to no lacing. Reasonably intense aroma, but perhaps not much for the style: there's a (relatively restrained) base of sweet malts, though i can't pick something specific, soft chocolate notes, a bit of coffee, a hint of leather, a rather dry kind of feel which maybe suggests a good dose of bitterness. Taste notes follow the aroma: again, perhaps slightly sub-par intensity per style, but mostly not too defined/polished. A bit of sweet malty base, chocolate and light coffee, a hint of leather, a good dose of dry floral bitterness, with a pretty dry finish and aftertaste. Possibly closer to what you'd expect from an american strong ale rather than from an old ale. Medium to dense bodied with low to average carbonation; a relatively simple and easygoing mouthfeel per style, lacks the fullness i'd expect though. Felt overall quite mediocre to me.

Deep golden fading into light orange, moderately hazy, gets hazier on final pours. Medium sized quite frothy white head, shows good enough retention and lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: a restrained background of hay and crackery malts, a healty dose of funkiness (barnyard, perhaps a hint of leather), fresh citric notes, perhaps a bit of yeasty spiciness. Ok complexity, so-so definition. Slightly more defined in taste, but still a bit unpolished. Taste notes and intensity as per aroma. Average sourness and funkiness for a wild saison, indeed just as much as i expected. Sweetness and bitterness are both relatively low and in good balance in both taste and aftertaste. A pleasantly refreshing citric aftertaste. Overall a rather simple wild saison, pleasantly refreshing and well balanced, but could use more definition. Light to medium bodied, probably a bit lighter than i expected for the abv, with average, lively bubbled carbonation, resulting in a quite easygoing, slightly lively mouthfeel. I usually enjoy wild saisons, and i enjoyed this one too, but from an objective point of view i don't see it as more than averagely good.

A beautiful looking, quite transparent, deep orange, a bit more hazy when pouring the last inch. Medium sized, quite frothy head, the slightest off-white, shows pretty good retention and lacing. Average to good intensity in the aroma: a relatively timid malty presence (marzipan most noticeable), fruity notes taking a bit of edge in the overall panorama, with candied orange most noticeable, plus peach and pear. Quite some spiciness too, mainly peppery and perhaps a bit of coriander. Taste confirms a relatively restrained malty/sweet presence, with taste notes as per aroma, plus an underlying citric feel that reminds of chinotto. A bit of (clean) earthiness in a rather dry per style finish/aftertaste. Quite dense bodied beer with average to above average carbonation; a quite full mouthfeel, somewhere in the middle of full/creamy and lively from carbonation; felt a bit too much "in the middle/undecided" too me, also a bit too burpy (not at all an unpleasant mouthfeel anyways). Overall: a rather original take on the style, quite tasty and well made.

Pours very dark brown, looks dark brown to black in the glass. Quite good intensity in the aroma, especially per style: maltiness with roasted malts notes of coffee and lighter chocolate, also a bit of ashy character, a not too timid dry floral/earthy hops suggestion. Taste notes follow the aroma closely. A bit of sweet malty base, perhaps with a hint of toffee, but very restrained per style with bitter/roasted notes (again slightly ashy) taking a bit of edge. A quite dry (again, especially per sytle), bitter edging finish, with floral hops notes. Quite light in body, low to medium, relatively fizzy carbonation; pretty lively carbo for a mild, a quite easy mouthfeel on the overall, but lacking the smoothness/softness i'd expect. So: perhaps this could have scored a tad higher if it was labeled as a stout/porter, because that's what it is (and i'd say an ok/average one).
