COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Once described as a Belgian Irish-style stout, Black Ghost has undergone lots of changes over the years. It now bears no resemblance whatsoever to a stout, and brewer Dany Prignon has begun adding spices to the beer. What they are is anybody's guess...the Fantôme confounds once again.

Bottled. WOW a damn good beer. Dark brown pour with Aromas of tart and citrus fuir, Belgian spices, chocolate, caramel and nut. The flavor matches the aroma with a big bready / spice muthfeel.

Appearance : Dark amber with small head.
Aroma : Lots of herbs with dust. Woody and vinous.
Taste : Lots of herbs with some oxidation. dust and caramel. Finish dusty with herbs. Quite woody and a bit vinous.
Overall : Very weird again. Not as good as Autumn we just had. Still interesting.

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.

750ml bottle. light brown with tan head. Slightly sour, spices, grass, white sugar. Well carbonated, medium bodied, smooth, farmhouse with slight funk, bit of sweetness, nice lingering fresh finish.

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.

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]
