Dec 16, 2007 ’05 or ’06 vintage..not quite sure. Shared with my brother and Miketd. A pretty interesting and different saison. Pretty good stuff, just very different from what I expected. Very woodsy and tart aroma. Lots of spice and yeastiness in the nose as well. Much dryer and tart in the flavor than I expected. Some peppery spice and alcohol in the finish. Good stuff and very very different than any other saison I have ever had. It seems to be a good fit for a winter interpretation of a belgian saison.

Dec 9, 2007 Bottle 086/477044: Ruby in color with a slight cream head. Light caramel malt, cherry and funk aroma. Dry, cardboard sour funk. I’m realizing that I’m not that much of a fan of the farmhouse funk.

Nov 24, 2007 Dark brown with a thin layer of tan bubbles. Aroma is alcoholic with some sour fruit. Flavor is sour all the way through like granny smith apples. Some sweetness mixed in and possibly some bakers chocolate with a helping of earth at the end. I don’t care much for this.

Nov 11, 2007 750ml bottle, vintage unknown, but most likely 2006. Brown and purple hued body, with a small film of an off-white head. Oxidized nose of cardboard, sweet plum and wood, and a flavor that it up front sweet and starchy, then turning sour and lactic when the Fantome yeast is noticed... overall it’s a bit confused and detached, feeling thin in the mouth, weak and watery on the palate, never coming togethor with that rich frothiness that you find in other Fantome. Sharp, astringent at times, and cloying, it’s too messy. The finish especially is hard to deal with - the moldy cardboard and biting yeast.
