Commercial Description:
A Belgian ’saison-style’ ale brewed with cocoa powder and chili pepper? Ay, Caramba! Score another first for the unpredictable brewery that was the first -- and so far the only - brewery to make ales out of dandelions and mushrooms, among other things.

Bottle. Aroma started with sourness, light fruits, cocoa powder comes in as it warms. Flavor allows for the appearance of the cocoa powder a bit sooner. Comes together as a refreshing, amber-malt saison with that cocoa twist at the end. Impressive, but for the second time with a Fantome, not something I would see myself buying regularly, more of something to experience once or twice.

750ml Bottle: Aroma is lightly sour and smells of cocoa and yeast. Poured a turbid medium-brown color with a small, fizzy, off-white head that diminished immediately. Cloudy. Opaque. Very sparkling. Particles. Flavor is light to medium sour. Tastes of sour fruit, and nothing else. Medium body. Thin, chalky texture. Lively carbonation. Sour finish. Where are the cocoa and chili??? Over carbonated. Like a sour soda.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a white head that persists. Aroma of sourness and sweet fruits (like a sour ale). Flavor initially of the same sweet/sour notes , slight funkiness, followed by a cocoa powder finish. Originally I thought the palate on the finish was rather weak, but when I picked out the cocoa powder, it was awesome! If you can pick it out, a sweet combination. Excelllent.

(Bottle at One Pint on 2008-02-12) Amber colour. Very small head. Very weakly chocoltate in nose. A metallic aroma, too. Sour taste. A tiny sting from chilli. In aftertaste a hint of cocoa bitterness.

750 Bottle ... hazy amber ... cidery nose ... very tart ... quite dry ... fruity ... again some cider tones ... touch of chocolate ... dont sense any chilli? .... really quite drinkable.... the chocolate builds as you get further in.
