750ml bottle. Good, smooth... but a little too sweet. Tastes almost like caramel at times. I’d drink it again, and would definitely try other fantome choices. Its subtle.

Sweet, herbal aroma - Fanome it is, some funk, some wise brewing techniques and some x mark. Herbal, fruity, spice and alcohol.

Fruit, yeast and farm field aroma, murky brown, some reddish hue at the sides, small custard head. Bitter, woody flavour, some fruit, akin to grape and cherry skins. Medium bodied, tart and quite a dry finish. Pretty nice version. Many Thanks to whichever of My Guests brought this along!

Red and orange in colour with minimal carbonation. A veritable flurry of aromas: light malt, citrus and grassy hops, apricot, chocolate, and mint. The flavors are just as wild, with more chocolate and mint, horse blanket, yeast, red licorice, Christmas spices, and a bit of lactic sourness. Wild and fun! Even with all of these flavors going on, nothing seems out of place. No one flavor gets in the way of another.

750 ml. Brown with a huge tan head. Funky hop aroma, which I am guessing is the SG hop. Nice and funky. Flavor is malty and hoppy, with a touch of chocolate. Smooth finish. This is real nice and enjoyable. Nice malt profile.

Red-amber colour with lots of little floaties. Aroma is fruity, flowery and funky. Favour is quite complex - I wish I’d had it earlier in the tasting so I could’ve gotten more out of it, but even after a whole whack of other beers, I really dug it. [Toronto Christmas Party ’04]

Nice woody aroma. Slightly spicy, caramel sweet as well. Cola colored brown. Medium carbonation. Head forms then fades, leaving small ring around the surface of the beer. Taste is rich and sweet. Malt, dark candi sugar, slight spiciness. There is some dryness to the finish which balances this out nicely and makes it quite drinkable. Very nice beer.
