750ml Bottle: Complex aroma is both sour and malty. Smells of sour yeast, chocolate, malts, toasting, and spices. Poured dark brown in color with a medium-sized, dense, British tan head that shrank but lasted throughout. Opaque. Flavor is lightly sour, and very complex. Tastes of sour yeast, cardboard box, roasted malts, chocolate, and some astringent. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Dry, roasted finish. Did not really like this one.

Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC. Vintage 2006. Dark amber pour with fizzy tan head. A touch of funk and apples on the nose. Surprising sour flavor combined with caramel and chocolate was very nice. Slightly bitter and dry finish. Another great beer from famtome.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle shared by ucusty. Thanks Dave! Pours dark amber with a nice tannish head. Nose is cocoa, roasted malt, and a little bit of funk. Flavor is similar, very earthy and dry, with a bit of cocoa. Fantome always excites me and this one did not disappoint. Glad I finally got to try it.

Jun 30, 2008 Shared with Lee. Pours a blackish red with an overflowing tan head. Slightly metallic grapefruit sour, orange aroma. Grapefruit sour, orange peel, malt taste with a slightly thin body. As it warms, the metallic taste gives way to slightly more sourness. As always, another unique brew from a great brewery.
