Hazy amber pour, Aroma is loaded with yeast, citrus, some chalky chocolate. Flavor is herbal yeast, Sourdough, grass, finishes very dry with a flutter of powdered cocoa, Decent offering.

Hazy amber with a thin white head. Really yeasty/ doughy with moderate graininess, chocolate malt, sourdough, and roast. Yummy and unique.

Cloudy dark gold pour. Nose and flavor hold nice presence of spice, herbs, and some good aggressive Fantome yeast. Good, but one of the lesser efforts from the brewery.

From Skjold Burne, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 280711. Light amber with white head. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor with lots of fruit and peppery spice. No coco.

Bottle @ home. My first Fantôme! Poured a very bubbly, hazy, burnt orange appearance with a cream colored head that was very fizzy but dissipates quickly. Light spiciness, barnyard, belgian yeasty nose. Flavor had soured a little bit, very light cocoa, some spiciness, belgian yeasty, some fruit tartness, lightly funky flavor. Mild chili flavor overall. I’m a little surprised by the minor amount of cocoa, dull chili, and the tartness.

i was excited to rate this! my score doesn’t count anyway because i am under 10 reviews BUT i took the cap off and noticed instantly the cork was creeping up-uh oh- ran to the kitchen in time for the cork to blow and every ounce of liquid in the bottle to vanish into foam in about 1 second...oh well. not sure i like the smell of it all over the counter top-low score for aroma and way high for carbonation. no worries fantome! i still like you!

UPDATED: APR 9, 2012 Molta fruita en nas. La boca no és el que s’espera de l’aroma. Notes de cacao en boca. Realment sorprenent!

what a strange brew. pours a milky brown with a strange farmhouse, green bottle funk aroma. sour taste with late arriving chocolate flavor. i will never buy this again but it is interesting. not quite a drain pour but i thought about it. my girlfriend refused to try it on appearance alone. she said it looks like what happens when you drink the water in mexico. buy at you’re own risk. maybe if you like green bottle pilsners and sours it could be for you, but not me....

Bottle. Pours golden brown with a small head. Big bodied for a saison, very smooth and pleasant taste of peaces.

Bottiglia comprata da ilbeershop.it, nessuna traccia di cacao nè di chili, possibile ci fosse una etichetta sbagliata? che poi non era niente male, ma non c’entrava nulla.
