Commercial Description:
Once described as a Belgian Irish-style stout, Black Ghost has undergone lots of changes over the years. It now bears no resemblance whatsoever to a stout, and brewer Dany Prignon has begun adding spices to the beer. What they are is anybody's guess...the Fantôme confounds once again.

A hazy red beer with a beige head. The aroma is spicy with notes of grass, thyme, and sage. The flavor is malty with loads of spices.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a hazy, dark brown with an orange hue. Head is completely absent. Lightly tart, spicy nose. A little thin and almost completely flat. No real malty feel - just this weird acidity. Must’ve been a bad bottle. 280907

Murky chestnut colour. Aroma show smoke, brown sugar, plums, dates. Dry woody, funky flavours abound, with plum again, and slight toffee and a faint hint of acidity. It’s also quite yeasty. Despite all this, it failed to have the same life to it that many other Fantomes do. Tough to explain, but it lacked the intangible greatness that many of Dany’s other beers have.

75 cL bottle, thanks to Ungstrup. Pours dark brown, no head. Aroma is slight roasted malty. Flavour is slight acidic breaking the malty flavour. Finish is slight sour and slight acidic into the finish.

Bottle. Hazy orange brown coloured with an off white ehad. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel and fruits with notes of dried fruits. Light acidic flavour of caramel and fruits.
