Biscuit and caramel aroma with a delicate sourness. Heavy caramel in the flavour but in a really good way. Again a slight sourness bringing through the saison characteristics. A very interesting beer. oh6gdx (9104), Vasa, Finland

Really very fizzy in the mouth, nice sweet and sour taste in the mouth quite tingy. This is a refreshing beer that carries some maltiness through, touch of citrus touch of chocolate its really quite nice. harrisoni (6946), Ashford, Kent, England

Smells of salt and vinegar crips. Bit of sourness, some hop. Odd to have a dark saison. It’s like a saison but with chocolate. Tasty, if odd. KimJohansen (7149), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Dark caramel brown and cloudy, sourish barnyard smells mingle with mocha. Puckering lime, salts, champagne yeast in flavour -- weird combo of sour Flemish with a cheesecake-sweet barley wine. Truly unusual, definitely great. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA

Porus dark blackish brown with a tan ring. Nose is smokey and peppery. Taste is sweet and peppery, tart, sour strange and intriguing.
