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.

Bottle shared with Davinci and xnoxhatex. Pours a clearer glowing but dark rootbeer color with a tall frothy light beige foamy sudsy head. Creamyish full aroma, rootbeer candy, spicy, somewhat mellow, enticing but round. Flavor is of burnt rubber, spicy, tires, dark dark, charcoal, some sharp sweetness towards the finish, almost a hint of sourness, overall nice and dry, hint of brett and yeast, crazy weird. Medium bodied with lively medium large crisp carbonation. All I can remember about this beer is sweet burnt rubber.

Bottle. Thick head on very dark amber. Sour grape and cherry aroma. A lightly flavoured with too much pepper. Light caramel before the spice but the spice overpowers the beer.Grapenuts and pepper?! Out of nowhere in the aftertaste comes a hint of chocolate.

(on bottle) At last a beer from Fantôme I liked. Hazy mahogony in color, no head. Aroms of barley and cassis. Soft carbonation. Sour, freash finish, the taste drawes one back for more with a fine blend of cassis and alpine strawberries.

Bottle thanks to gerrit. Cloudy dark brown with creamy beige, medium head. Aroma is Belgian yeast but slightly soda pop, some roast and sweetness. Flavor is slightly grapey, roast, Belgian yeast, slightly astringent, dry, slight sour. Light body and active carbonation. Nice but strange.

Colore marrone scuro, molto velato, sottile schiuma giallastra. Aroma erbaceo, ginepro, zucchero di canna.Gusto fresco, come di mirtillo,malto. Veramente sorprendente. Buono il corpo.Ottima.

Bottle. This beer is EPIC. Pours almost solid black with a thick, brownish head. Aroma is fruity, with hints of berries and maybe a bit of spice. The flavor is outrageous, and the body is almost as strong as a stout, Kick-ass beer for a kick ass time.

Bottle at Toronado 22nd Anniversary. Cloudy purplish-brown pour with a nice lasting tan head. Aroma funky with berries and lots of spices. Flavor very fruity with heavy spices, blueberry, raspberry, mild roast, and funk. Palate medium and dry. Very interesting beer overall.

Bottle during the Orlando Invades Northern Michigan Weekend. Pours a cloudy brown color with a tan head. Aroma of Fantome funk with some berries and malt. Flavors are more of the signature funk with a little tartness and some spices. Yum!
