Dec 6, 2008 Brewed in Belgium.... Pours a chestnut brown color with a small off white head. Aroma of grapes, prunes, yeast, and sour cherries. Tastes has a musty funkiness with raspberries, grapes, and pepper spices. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing and finishes on the dry side. I was not sure what to expect this time from the Fantome. But i must say it was very enjoyable.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle thanks to WeeHeavySD at Beachwood BBQ. Pours with a light brown head and a hazy hazlenut body with good lacing. Aroma is interesting, a bit metallic with notes of wine, pepper, sour, citrus and some berry jam and a touch of toffee malt. Taste is deeply malty with some jam, light sour and barnyard with a touch of citrus and currant. Lightly bubbley and dryish mouthfeel.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours with a dark amber hue with a light brown head that is mostly diminishing.
Aroma is of dark fruits - mainly prunes and dates, mixed with some yeast, spices, and lots of citrus.
Beer has a sweet, sour beginning, with a flat middle, followed by a jammy, and sour ending.
Syrupy texture with very light carbonation.
A very good brew indeed!
