Bottle. Poured a a deep dark ornage body with huge head. Aroma is light spices, yeast and musty. Flavor is spices, earthy, yeasty taste and light fruit. An interesting beer.

Jun 21, 2008 Dark brown in color with a loose, sparse off-white head. Nice aroma, not as funky as a typical Fantome, but has some real nice herbal characters with a slight sharpness to it. Taste is pretty straightforward with a light toasty graininess followed by a faint tart twinge and more herbal character. A very subdued Fantome.

Jun 20, 2008 Bottle @ ORL throwdown, courtesy of SoLan. This pours deep amber with a fair-sized off-white head. The craziness that is this beer unleashes itself upon your nose. Mint! Peppermint, eculyptus, hay, a slight hint of the usual Fantôme funk, and a nice dose of pepper to finish of this beer aromatic arsenal. The flavor is more muted, definite tartness, some grass and slight herbal bitterness. Well-balanced carbonation and drying in the mouth make it easier to finish, but the flavor overall was not my thing.

Jun 10, 2008 Brown color with a medium head. Aroma has some very interesting, raw herbs and citrus. Flavor was a bit yeasty and bready but the herbal undertones overpowered and took this one down a notch. My least favorite Fantome, but creative and interesting (as all Fantomes are).

Jun 1, 2008 Throwdown. Cough drops. Minty and fruit, with eucalyptus and herbals. Finish is strongly herbal. There’s just a touch of caramel underlying everything.

May 26, 2008 Thanks Davinci! Pours a cloudy rootbeer color with "nice head" ha. Aroma of ginger, lemon and other spices... Sweet ginger, lemon, rootbeer flavor. Sparkling very light body with bigger carbonation bubbles. I love ginger so this was excellent to my tastes.
