I found this to be a particularly interesting beer. It poured somewhat orange and smelled strong of yeast with some fruit notes there too. Taste was began spice with some malt notes following. The alcohol began becoming apparant after a few swigs but it wasn't overwhelming. It was a very smooth beer given the alcohol. I found it to be very drinkable. In some ways it reminded me of Saison Dupont's flavors.

750mL bottle into a snifter
No born on/best before date

A: Pours a clear dark straw color with 3 fingers width of white head. Great retention and leaves lots of lacing.

S: Vinous, sweet, spicy. Belgian yeast esters, clove and white pepper spice, sweet fruits. There is a chalky, almost medicinal character that I can only describe as fruit flavored Tums. Some herbaceous/floral notes, like a country meadow. Really nice aroma here.

T: The initial flavor that hits my palate is a big vinous, white grape character, champagne-esque. This is followed by spice notes. I also get bakers chocolate, faint hop notes, citrusy orange.

M/D: Medium body, carbonation on the heavier side which is appropriate, ABV is well masked and drinkability is very good.

O: Good beer, well above average, but not great. I would definitely drink this again though.
