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

Aug 18, 2008 Pours deep caramel with minimal head. The nose is spice and juniper. This carries into the flavor. The finish is clean and dry.

Aug 8, 2008 Brown pour with a weird minty like nose. Medium bodied with loads of spice and funk. Slightly tart and dry finish

Jul 12, 2008 Bottled sample. Dark amber in colour with a fair bit of haze and medium carbonation. All sorts of spices on the nose: nutmeg, cinnamon, lemongrass, and black pepper. There’s also some of that typical Fantome funky yeast and some mellow pale malts. In the mouth, it’s strong herbs again, with more nutmeg, citrus peel, mint, camphor, and maybe even a little oregano. The mouthfeel is totally bizzare: it starts off medium-dry, then seems to evaporate completely... somewhat ghost-like perhaps? Anyway, a strange beer to say the least. Not my favorite Fantome, but interesting nonetheless

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.
