Looks like a Caffrey’s when it is poured, but the head just disappears - even though it almost blew a hole in my cealing when it opened itself. The aroma is yeasty and spicy. The flavor is of yeast and cinnamon - especially the cinnamon has been put in, in enormous amounts. This is too much for me.

(Bottle 75 cl) Beautiful reddish beer, slightly hazy with a decent head. Typical Fantome spicyness although I cannot pinpoint which spices. Some hints of licorice. Nice. 240501

<i>Bottled.</i> Cloudy orange. Light estery fruit aroma with a touch of menthe. Funky and lively, medium dry with light sparkling moutfeel. Lightly resiny finish with some bitterness. Complex.

Hazy, vibrant cherry with perfect foam. I have to use the word vibrant to describe bright colours because some dumbass decided "bright" was a cute way to say "clear" and now bright forever shall refer to clarity rather than intensity of colour. Fresh yeasty aroma - leather, sweat, cherry, glazed pear flan, styrians &#40;?&#41;. Starts with juicy malts, kindling, sandalwood incense &#40;unburnt&#41;, warming alcohol underneath, plus dashes of dried apricots, fresh bread, prunes. Dry palate - minerally, finish both alcoholic and hoppy but not too much of either. Like the Wolnzacher Hell I had a few days ago, this beer is beautifully subtle - nothing clubs you over the head but you know immediately that you&#39;re drinking kick ass beer.

Bottle at bier circus 2002-vintage. Hazy orange brown coloured with a beige head. Aroma of dried fruits, port wine and chocolate with notes of wood. Flavour of dried fruits, sherry and wood. Nice.
