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.

(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.

Its been a while since I had this. Rating from notes and memory. Very nice dark color. Aroma of plums, cherry, sugar making it a bit sweet and sour. Very pleasant to drink. Some nice red wine characteristics and some barrel come through too. Very nice overall.

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. Dark brownish color with a thin sparse white head. Light tart notes with some suggestion of musky spices, figs, and vegetation. The taste takes a while to really settle in. Initially I was thinking that this was a pretty bland brew for a Fantome. But the more I drink it, some subtleties come out. Some vague fruity and smoky plum or fig-like characters start out. The finish provides some light trademark funk with an odd herbal note that seems to give off a slight peppery heat. Body seems a bit undercarbonated, but that’s not a big issue.

Bomber from joshuab. Pours dark brown w/ very large foamy tan head. nose is yeasty, ol dbox smelling. kinda smells like an attic or maybe a wet, moldy basement. Taste is bubbly, light fruitiness, maybe some sort of berry? finishes light and fizzy.

Black color with brown edges. Not much aroma. Some richness in the flavor but very delicate. Not what I expected at all.
