Nov 20, 2005 Bottle. Red brown colour with a big baige head. Caramel, dark fruits, spicy aroma and taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Nov 13, 2005 One of the most bizarre beers I could ever imagine drinking, this is nonetheless a must try if you can find one. Dark flavors that I can’t even explain run wild here, making this a chaotic masterpiece.

Nov 12, 2005 Bottle. Dark copper color with a big beige head. Rich roasted malt aroma with a bit of alcohol and slightly sour. Sweet malt, chocolate, spice, touch of tartness, woodiness all combining in the flavor. Nottable alcohol. Not as straight forward and clean as many of their other beers, but still good.

Nov 10, 2005 Bottle. Sour cardboard aroma. Dark chestnut colour. Nice and stable, creamy light brown head. Flavour has a little cardboard too. Nicely peppery, but also somehow dry.

Nov 4, 2005 Fantome is one of my top 5 favorite brewers, so I was terribly disappointed with this one. Perhaps this became oxidized, but the condition of the bottle and cork showed no signs to suggest it. My sample was overly sour, a sourness which blocked out most every flavor--I couldn’t even detect the alcoholic warmth, so harsh was the sour onslaught. Occasionally, I sensed some darker malt flavors, but that’s about it. No finish to speak of, as the sourness dries any flavor, strangling it.I truly love Fantome’s saisons, but this one was a disaster. Drainpour.

Oct 24, 2005 Dark nutty brown with a HUGE creamy tan head, the nose presents a whirlwind of spicy scents atop a sweet caramel base. Raisins and chocolate blend with pepper, coriander, clove, a hint of mint, and the gods know what else Fantome threw into this Saison. This softly creamy drink has flavors to match the aroma with perhaps some pine and nuts and a definite alcohol zing to boot. It finishes on a spicy but slightly soured note. Very, very good drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=18> Sam’s Wine & Spirits, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>
