"Best before end 2015" clearly a mis-print (I believe this was intended to say "2025"). Poured from a capped and corked 750mL bottle into my Unibroue tulip.
Amber body, floral white soft peaks. Thick fine lacing; excellent retention.
Bright, citrus/wildflower/alfalfa aromatics with hints of spice and faint funk.
Sweet, bitter, and complex flavor profile which continues to evolve long into the finish. Malt, spices, burnt sugar, and earthy/herbal notes. Dry finish with a lingering grassy/weedy bitterness not entirely from hops. Hints of wood. Very low tartness/funk.
Creamy, medium bodied, with prickly full carbonation, moderate tannic bite, and alcohol warmth.
Interesting collaboration - though the various elements are competing somewhat.

On tap at Glory Beer Bar in Philly. A weird beer. Not your standard saison. Nothing in excess with this beer, but a strange enjoyable mixture.
Smokey in both the nose and palate. Some sourness/lactic in the nose. The smoke is not overwhelming but if you have it on tap you’re going to ask if they pulled the correct beer. Almost still. Some hoppiness and sourness, but all low. Dry finish, even acrid, reminding of smokiness.

Never tasted anything quite like it. It has tarteness, earthiness, spiciness, bitterness and crispness all perfectly blended into one beer. Beautiful dry finish too.
