Fantôme BBB Babillard

Pours a cloudy amber color with a medium sized, white, rocky head that lingers. Big aroma of wood, yeast, and a perplexing sour tartness that is lambic like. Medium body with moderate carboantion. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with just a bit of crispness in the finish. The flavor is wonderfully fruity and yeasty, with wood, sour fruit, orange, and peach flavors all melting together. The finish is long and intensely fruity with peach and pear flavors. An intensely complex and wonderful beer, what a treat. I love Fantome!

VERY big aroma....sour grapes, yeast, barnyard....I could smell this from several feet away. Taste was very sharp and fruity, sour apples, with a slight pepper in the finish. A pretty good beer, but not spectacular.

Completely BEAUTIFUL. Delish. Mellow rounded complexity hiding under the surface of a taste that just kept coming back to me all the rest of the day. The flavors meld so well that this little boy has great difficulty pulling them apart. Don't really feel I need a science course to know I like it this much.

Bottle. Hazy-light-amber with a big head. Typical guezeish smell with also a hint of nice apples. Some spiciness in the flavor along with a delightfully moist and lingering mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Bottle conditioned. Hazy amber orange, excellent rocky fluffy white long lasting head and good condition. First aroma is that lambic/orval note but it soon subsides and is replaced by a fruity malt and cider apple tartness with some spiciness in the background. In the mouth it is full bodied and slightly chalky with apples and malt. Yeast sediment adds a spiciness and there is a vague suggestion of hops. Finish is sweet and sour with a mouth filling dryness. Threatens to offend but is pleasant and quenchingly drinkable for 8%.

Not a bad Saison. Fruity, spicy, and tart. Finish is crisp, clean, and dry.

Just a bit darker than the Fantome Saison, as well as harsher and sweeter. The label depicts a ghost emerging from a PC monitor bearing beer, but that did not happen in my case. Somewhat spicy, but not much citrus. So-so.

Very impressive. Brillant Orange, with a huge finely carbonated head. Sour, Lemony aroma. Full sour/tart flavor, with grain (rye?) and citrus in there as well. Notes of Oak and stone, as well as some mustiness, too. Nicley bitter, but not too overwhelming. I'd call it whelming, in fact. Now what the Hell is up with the label? Did I miss something?
