COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"With joy and a little bit of mischief, Fantôme brewer Dany Prignon dedicates this very bitter beer to all of the many varieties of brise-bonbons - literally, ball-breakers - in the world. Specifically, this beer is meant for wise-guys, braggarts, pains-in-the-ass, muck-rakers, troublemakers, know-it-alls, stuffed-shirts, blow-hards and bores, as well as nut-cracking, wind-bag, prattling-on, self-appointed experts on everything, and nose-in-the-air snobs, convinced they can do anything better than you. Dany intended to make a beer too bitter for a normal person to enjoy. The problem is, everyone loves it! Guess we’re all just a bunch of brise-bonbons sometimes..." - Shelton Brothers

yespr (22205) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - DEC 14, 2007
From bottle, no 22 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy and somewhat pale yellow with a fully diminished white head. Citric and brett aroma. Mild citric towards mild brett flavoured. Has a mild sweetness which together with a mild spice note lingers into the finish. Quite nice and smooth. Slight woody in the far finish.

oh6gdx (16047) - Vasa, FINLAND - APR 16, 2009
Bottled (from belgianshop a long long time ago). Hazy orange golden colour with mediumsized slightly off-white head. Lacing. Aroma is quite much spices, earth, wood and some slight cardboardy dryness as wel. Flavour is quite grassy, earthy along with some spices, fruits and mild notes of bread and quite big yeastyness. True to the Fantome style, you never know exactly what you will get, but it sure as hell is drinkable.

joergen (14992) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - DEC 3, 2007
Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with floaties and a white head. Aroma of fruits, spices, vegetables, citrus and pine needles. Dusty flavour of fruits, citrus, hops, grass and pine needles with notes of yeast.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2009 Draught. Caramel colour, small stable white head. Nice aromatic hoppiness. Low carbonation. 5 3 7 3 14

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

Corked bottle

Cloudy blond color. Medium aroma, cellar, lemon peel; interesting. Thin body, with a difficult flavor: pepper, harsh citrus fruits, astringent... Too much yeast. Wrong.
