Thanks to Dan and Joelle (Dewbrewer) for this one. Scorched orange color with good head and lacing. Lots of coffee, English toffee, and chocolate in the nose. Nice bitterness that is earthy and not quite hop like in character. It melds a malt and hop character with a Belgian endive like earthy bitterness and flavor. Nice beer. Will enjoy see how this ages.

Cloudy gold color with aromas of typical Fantome yeast and mellow orange and lemon zest. Taste is a bit sweet but the spiciness balances it out nicely.

thanks to egajdzis for sharing, poured a hazy amber with a ton of creamy head, lots of citrus in the nose, thought that was a little strange for the style, same thing with the taste, there were some spices and sweet malts, i just thought the citrus flavors were odd for this style.

05.07.05 750ml bottle, Heavyweight open house. Aroma is egg salad and ash. Egajdzis hogged most of this stuff, only doling out drips littered with cigarette ash to a select few. I was one of the lucky ones. Clouded gold with huge tan head. Very acetic. Mild sour, very dry. More tobacco, okay, it’s not just the Marlboro Light I’m getting here. Sour. Dry. Sour. Dry. Ends with lingering sour and dry.

Bottled 0,75 l
Hazy orange-brown color, lively carbonation, creamy steady beige head. Aroma has candy sweetness(bonbons?), cream, lemon, hops. Interesting taste: citrusy with spices. Medium-bodied. Good hoppy bitter aftertaste with some dry grassy notes. Warming but same time refreshing summer drink. Fantome’s version of tripel?

Poured a medium, cloudy brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of light spices, a little grassy, citrus and some yeast. Dry and clean finish.

Poured a hazy brown color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Funky aroma of hay, barnyard, and spicy citrus. Taste of vanilla, citrus, and dry yeast with very little alcohol added. Really nice, and different Fantôme.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: SEP 11, 2005 Couleur oranger ambré. Nez plutôt funky typique des bière de cette brasserie. Sur un beau fond terreux, on retrouve des raisins blancs, du sirop d’érable et une touche de caramel. Une douce explosion fruitée en bouche amène une touche d’orange et d’abricot. Texture douce et crémeuse. La finale amène un léger mordant d’alcool. Encore! Dégusté au Zythos Beer fest comme première bière, St-Niklaas, Mars 2005

Bottle. Mild caramelly aroma. Cloudy amber colour. Very small white head. The flavour has a good citric note. The maltiness is OK, but a bit strange tasting. 6 3 6 3 16
