Bottle shared by ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad.

Dark mahogany body with a thin beige collar. Aromas of leather, smoke, horse saddle, malt. Pond water and cigar ashes. Mild sourness and funk. Only Dany can make a beer this unique.

750ml bottle into snifter. Batch 2/2013, which means I’m probably in trouble.

A: Pours a deep dark beer bottle brown with a finger of very dense dark tan head that quickly faded into a fuzzy collar that left a few thick streaks of lace down the glass.
S: Huge burnt peat, bandaid, a dark roast on the nose. I get some ripe banana after the pour. Disappointing.
T: Tart grape and cherry skins mixed with dark malt and cola flavors, smoked bandaid, and peat. The peat and phenols are not bad as the nose, either that or the clean tartness is overpowering it better than other chlorophenolic tome beers I’ve had. The finish has a linger flavor of tart and tannic fruit skins.
M: Not as sour as I was expecting given the name, but the tartness is clean and pleasant. Medium-light body, slick and clean mouthfeel.
O: Not quite a drainpour but definitely another 2013 quality control issue. Aside from that, this was good but underwhelming as a saison.

Overall, a rather interesting combination of elements that I am not used to seeing in a saison. The sourness is welcomed but in parallel with some bizarre smoky jerky-like flavors with wheat and biscuit. I will say it grew on me as it opened up but definitely one of the most bizarre saisons I have experienced

Pours a dark brown colour, glint of colour at the edge. Head is beige, pale, nice small bubbles but decent foamy crown. Lace is nice.

Smells strong and a bit turbid. Soapy but with nice fragrant edge, frangipani with some turmeric and pepper. Caramel undertones; not bad.

Taste is tart and tangy. Dark front with a touch of roast that descends into vinegary notes with a real jam conserve edge. Strawberry balsamic, some hints of chocolate, raisins and figs. Very interesting and a lovely balance between sweetness and tartness. Well padded by malt as well, although slight sharp edge shows through.

Idiosyncratic blend of flavours, but put together very artistically to produce something pretty special.
