75cl traded bottle. I’m thinking white pepper. There was a hint of sourness in the aroma that seemed promising but it seems overpowered by spice in the flavor. A little thin overall. Unique I suppose.

Sampled at Stuffed Sandwich years ago, tick from notes. Pours dark brown, muddy (as usual), with beige head that lasts a while. Aroma is roasty and slightly acidic and fruity and of course yeasty. Flavor is also roasty but not overly so, also lots of dark fruits and a fair amount of caramel. One of the more interesting Fantomes I’ve had.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750mL. The pour is a clear amber with a giant, yellow head with big, sheety, thick lace. Gobs of lace. The nose fresh citrus, lemon, and flowers with cinnamon apples. Taste is peppery, moldy, funky, lemon. Moves to bitter herbals, spicy rye malt, brown sugar. Tart, nutty bitter. Very odd combo as always with Fantome. Thinner palate. Definitely no resemblance whatsoever to a stout ;)

Bottle courtesy of GT2, thank you sir! Hazy brown color, medium tan head. Aroma of raspberries, cinnamon, nutmeg. Taste is like spiced raspberry soda with hops added. Really interesting. Very tasty.

[750ml bottle courtesy of cgarvieuk] Pours a very dark brown, extremely hazy with full yeast suspension. Sour vinegary aromas, which follow to the taste albeit with a touch of the fresh saison about it (although it’s a spiced winter beer). Sharp funky aftertaste, some sticky malt in there and a host of yeast [28012010]
