Oct 4, 2006 "Murky brown color, slight orange hues. Rather large head for 10% ABV, great lacing too. Aroma was of strong cloves, other fruits, other spices and pine, vinegar, almost a flemish sour aroma. The flavor was spice overload, cloves most notable, cinnamon, nutmeg, even roses. Alcohol was not bad for this level, hid well. Some slight sour aspects to the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was slightly acidic. The spicing was way too overdone, leaving this one in disappiontment."

Sep 8, 2006 Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a super huge light brown foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma of sweet candy, spices which may includes some pepper and some sourness. Taste is quite eclectic with something that resemble like sweet candy at first and then I got it with a mix between pepper, sour malt and dry finish form some weird hops. Body is lighter then expected for such a beer and alcohol is well hidden. Not bad overall but not great either. It just seems like too many things are going on at once.

Sep 4, 2006 deep red. small creamy tan head. lovely spicy, cinnamon, christmas aroma. pine, coriander, cinnamon, anise...basically the commercial description says it all. a slight salty sourness in the finish. my favorite fantome so far. this would be perfect for the holiday season.

Aug 26, 2006 Pours a dark red/brown color with a minimal tan head. Huge spicy nose with some sweet malt notes. Funky, earthy sweetish character dominates, with a backup of spice and maybe anise... ? A nice treat in the middle of summer.

Aug 15, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of spices, roast, and alcohol. Flavor is roasted malts, spices, and citrus. I hate this style, but this is drinkable.
