25 oz bottle, shared by acrdz. Pours a very hazy amber body with a fizzy foamy off-white head. The nose can only be described as Fantôme-like with lots of earthy yeasty farmhouse funkiness, lots of spices and some soft bready maltiness. Rather dry flavor, very yeasty and loaded with horseblanket funkiness and an almost chestnut like flavor. Finishes with some lingering herbal and yeastiness. Medium bodied, soft, but with nice lively fizzy carbonation. Pretty good, and certainly what I’ve come to expect from this brewery. Always decent but they never blow me away.

RBSG. Thanks to Dr Bill I assume. Pours cloudy brown with cherry, syrup, and smoke aroma and flavors. The finish is way too dry, but interesting.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours cloudy brown with a small tan head. Spicy finish with a light sour touch. This had a bit more malts up front then most Fantome offerings I remember, sort of a nutty and woody flavor that blends well with some spices and a soft herbal finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thanks to stall for this!!! Beautiful deep bronze with a light brown head. Knock out aroma! Strong creamy vanilla with a sweet chocolate mix. Taste is awesome! Apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, weaker vanilla and fruitiness. Carbonation in the mouthfeel and on the tongue. The beer became hazier when the sediment was added. Wonderful beer.

From 75 cL bottle thanks to dr Bill. Pours murky brown with an unclean brown speckled tan head. Aroma is light woody and mild acidic. Seems oxidised. Flavour is mild woody,dark fruity and with light acidic touch. Mild spiced too. Ends with a woody and oxidised note. Past it’s prime by far, but nice to try!
