Sampled @ 10th Danish Ratebeer Gathering, Ulfborg, Day 2. Murky red-brown color, medium sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, some kind of sourness, or tart better. Weird otherwise as they say themselves. Not the normal saison by a long shot. Meh, I don’t like it.

Thx! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ a Samson & Gert Tasting. Murky brown, lots of stuff floating around, huge disappearing mocha head. Nose is weird, metallic, thin mocha near sour, thin chocolate malts,..; Doesn’t feel entirely right, too thin fizzy mocha BE brew, sour mocha, thin, grain, feels a bit off,... Thin, fizzy, bit sour,... Not too far gone but not entirely right either & not very interesting, hard to drink.

Bottle, shared at my 10K rating celebration. Crazy gusher. Minerally nose, caramel, saison yeast, apples. Muddy brown with a huge, airy head like an infection. White pepper, acetaldehyde, caramel, spice, minerals. Gassy, airy. Nice chocolate and grape notes. Danny’s crazy yeast strikes again.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Took a while to pour a full glass carefully. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep ruby red/copper color with a 2-3 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange zest, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, light coffee/nuttiness, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange zest, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, light coffee/nuttiness, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Good amount of peppery yeast spiciness and light herbal/woody/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange zest, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, chocolate, cocoa, toasted dark bread, light coffee/nuttiness, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. High carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/dry, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden, only a slight warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a great dark saison! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, roast/bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink for the big ABV; thanks to the high carbonation. Great presence and overall complexity of yeast/malt flavors. Never acrid/astringent on roast/hop notes; or overly prickly/foamy/drying from the carbonation in the mouthfeel. A very enjoyable offering.
