Still got a few left over from last year's release, and they are drinking really really well. Gonna miss not having any fresh ones this year

In my experience, this is not one to sit on. I've had bottles up to a year old and they just weren't there in terms of flavour and complexity. They smelled good, but they had certainly mellowed out. Fresher the better I say.Belgian wrote:Will go set some of these.
How does it age, in terms of changes in flkavor?

Whereas I've got last years sitting in my beer fridge, kept between 40 & 50f, and the ones I've opened the past week and before have smelled fresh and tasted so fresh too.SteelbackGuy wrote:In my experience, this is not one to sit on.

Good to know, i've had older bottles of Fantome which held up even though it seeems like a moderately structured beer. An old bottle of Saison Dupont I had a bartender scare up yesterday was spot-on delicious.
I would just expect every 'saison' to be a different beast, the name referring as much to a time of year as anything.
