Appearance - Pours a pale straw with two fingers of bubbly white head, quickly dissipating.
Smell - Brett yeast, earthy and floral hops, spicy yeast notes, cracked black pepper, hint of citrus and stone fruits.
Taste - Definitely get the Brett, as well as the floral hops, spicy notes with pepper, and a bit of citrus/stone fruitiness. A bit of alcohol in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light-to-moderate carbonation. Some warmth in the finish, as well as dryness.
Overall - A barrel aged saison, however I was expecting a little more from the barrel. Appearance was a little lacklustre with quick-to-dissipate head, and I would have liked a little more haze.

650ml bottle - apparently this is 'lucky number 7' in P49's barrel aged series (I must have missed a few here and there), left for seven (natch) months in their oak foeder (singular).
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with two skinny fingers of puffy, almost rocky, and fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some rapidly melting iceberg profile lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of muddled stone fruit, underripe lemon rind, some mild barnyard funkiness, further indistinct tropicals, gritty and grainy wheat and pale malt, a touch of white and black pepper spiciness, and very subtle earthy, weedy, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is musty dirty socks (oh, hey there, Brett!), a hint of woody vanilla, some mixed cherry and citrus fruitiness, grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser cereal-forward wheatiness, and more timid leafy, grassy, and herbal verdant hops.
The carbonation is average in its palate-titillating frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and sort of smooth, I suppose, with the funk, yeast, and spice making for a hard case for purity here. It finishes trending dry, the same mouthfeel essences aiding and abetting the cause, as it were.
Overall, this comes across as a rather plain and unobtrusive version of the style, with the oak treatment barely palpable, at best - other than the funk, that is. That said, it's easy enough to put back, all other things being equal, especially the near 15-proof booze factor. Will probably make new fans, and at the same time, alienate old fans of the brewery.
