Bottle, 13C. Amber with a fading beige head. Aroma of toffee, nuts, some chocolate and oranges. A bit overcarbonated. Sweetish, tastes as it smells, with gentle bitterness at the dryish finish. Nice balance, could do with a little more oomph.

pours a deep hazy amber with a soft white head, plenty of malt in the aroma with a subtle spicy note. flavour is caramel, toffee and biscuit with a slightly spicy finish. very drinkable on a cold night.

330ml bottle. Pours a very dark copper colour, almost red, wih a big loose head. Strong aromas that carry a spiciness. The flavour is very good and this is a much better beer than the 2010 edition.

Nice dark honey/amber colouring. Biege head, not much to speak of though. Nice fruity aroma. Bitter, fruit flavour with a roasted or oaky touch to it. Actually quite good.

Sometimes in life we’re lucky, sometimes we don’t. I was lucky that my brother in law brought me this beer from Australia and drank it with friends, the bad luck was the Fantôme beer we drank that day. Nice amber coulour with a thin beige head. A lot of malt on the nose, the caramel is dominating, some fruitness is somewhat present. The caramel is omni present in the mouth with barley sugar candy. Rich and medium bodied amber ale. 6/10

(Une dégustation offerte par rondenbach99. Merci pour cette unique chance!) Une petite tête mousseuse sur un liquide à la robe ambrée. Un nez dominé par le caramel avec des houblons qui développent de discrètes touches fruitées et terreuses. Des saveurs de sucre d’orge et de caramel. Des saveurs de houblons qui sont moins évidentes. Une touche anglaise, indéniablement. Une bouche au corps moyen avec une effervescence modérément douce et une texture huileuse. Une finale finement amère au profil terreux.

Not bad. Largely a safe interpretation but I quite like the Belgian dubbel esque pongy fruits on the nose and palate. A dash of cola as well. So, upon reflection shows a reasonable amount of perhaps unintended complexity for the style.
