Feb 19, 2003 My favorite so far of the fantome's. A darkness that reminds me of the bottom of a swamp. Nice aroma, with hints of many spices. Very flavorful due to a good combination of spices/malts.

Mar 2, 2008 Bottle from Daniel. Another brown saison from Fantome.....only this one was good. Pours out, obviously, dark brown with a creamy head on it. Smells sweet, full of sour fruit, almost like a lambic. Also plenty of musty wood smells. Taste is sweet and smoth with a nice earthy flavor. Sour tasting as well. Has some chocolate hints to it as well. Sour and chocolate mesh fairly well in this beer. An interesting beer to say the least, and pretty good to boot.

Nov 28, 2003 Very murky reddish brown, sour, fruity and plenty of holiday spice - nutmeg and clove. Very strong but no alcohol in the flavor profile. Delicious with cornbread stuffing.

Dec 30, 2007 750 ml bottle courtesy of mj, enjoyed at my Holiday Mini Tasting. Pour is almost all black, with smallish tan head. Aroma of sweetness, cane sugar that is being cooked, a little bit of alcohol burn to the nose. Taste has quite a lot of citrus sourness (unexpected) which was very sharp and pretty much overwhelming. As the sour relaxes a bit, the candy sugar and holiday spices shine through. Bone dry in the finish. Eventually I warmed to this one..

Dec 16, 2007 Darker amber coloured beer with an off-white head. Fruity light sour aroma. Full palate, some fizzy mouthfeel. Finish is light sour, fruity and herby. Rather special and good.

Oct 28, 2007 Darker brown with some reddish hue and a medium tan head. Aroma is big and spicey - woody, yeasty, and quite spicy/peppery/herbal with a cornucopia of spice-rack scents. Flavor has some yeast and funk along with chocolate, lots of spice, and a light woodiness. Pleasant feel and a tingly finish. Not one of my favorite Fantomes, but still a good one for a cold winter night.
