Jan 1, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a dark mahogany body with a small off-white head. Aroma of plum, grape juice, and woodiness. Flavor of oak, brett, dark malts, and spices. Much better than expected.

Apr 18, 2007 Pours a transparent mahogany ruby with a thin ring of spotty tan head. Aroma of tart fruity cherries and slightly biscuity malt with some funky barnyard character. Starts with a nice, lightly caramel malty sweetness with a good fruity cherry character and a touch of horseblanket. Finishes fairly full with nice balance and sweet tartness.

Nov 3, 2007 Bottle shared by notalush. Deep brown, no tan head. Aroma is fairly fruity, lightly sour with a soft light toffeeish aroma, but there is something vaguely indistinct about it as well. A lot of oaky character, dill-like woodiness. Flavour is better than the aroma with a nice fruitiness, cherry and berry as well as a light herbal character. Soft sourness on the back.

Oct 31, 2006 One of the better offerings from the two bros, this "black Saison" looks like a Coke but with less carbonation and a smaller head. After the biting smell of hops, I’m a sucker for the funky aroma of Brett, and this has plenty of that over the scents of lightly roasted, sweet malts and a slight woodiness. The flavor is a bit more tame than the aroma, still with the funky sourness and lightly roasted malts but adding a bit of dried fruit, oak, and a hot spiciness. Very nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Pak Liquors, Indianapolis, IN<font size=-1>

Oct 1, 2006 Dark brown color with a chestnut rim when held to the light. Only a few bubbles that circle the rim of the glass. Sour dough bread and lightly roasted malt in the aroma. Really not much in the nose that entices me to continue. Tart and roasty flavors. Light berry and nouveau qualities. Hints of oak and a mild attic dust. A poorman’s Panil.

Oct 5, 2006 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured dark brown color with a minimal frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Heavy tart fruit, citrus, licorice and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture. Medium complex balanced flavor with a medium sour finish of long duration. Interesting once.

Nov 19, 2006 Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, light brown, fully diminishing.
Body is clear dark brown.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (roasted grain, popcorn), lightly yeasty (horseblanket, barnyard), with notes of cherry, cinnamon.
Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Unpleasant popcorn note, and not really too much by way of complexity. Overall pretty forgetful. The commercial description sure makes it sound exciting, doesn’t it? But no.
