Picked up a bomber for $8.25 from Abe's Cold Beer. Yeah, this is a bit of a disappointment. There's a hint of mild farmhouse spice in the aroma and flavor, but overall the character is surprisingly bland. Hops provide a light, earthy lemon, but where is the malt? I get a little cocoa, but the grains seem lost. I'm not sure what went wrong here (I usually love Terrapin beers!). There are some fine elements, and it improves at cellar temp, but the balance seems to be off and overall the flavor is dull. Ah well.

Based on notes from 2011. Had this from a bottle.
A: pours black body with light tan head with ok retention and lacing
S: estery and yeasty smelling; typical of a saison
T: strong, yeasty taste with some sweet malt notes and yeasty; roasted aftertaste
M: a lot of carbonation; medium bodied; good for the style
D: nice mouthfeel and taste combo; nice beer overall

Had this one for a while (obviously) and tonight seemed right. Enjoyed from an oversized terrapin snifter.
a - brew pours a dark brown that settles in the glass as black with chestnut highlights to the light. A generous frothy foamy grey head hung out for a while with a creamy almost Belgian look.
s - nose is soft fruit leading with Apple and pear.
t - taste starts with the same apple and pear and then is tsunamied with a bready toasted oxidized tartness. Yeasty
m - feel is over carbed and fizzy
o - overall this probably should've been drank long ago. Not really that great now.
