Looks like a Caffrey’s when it is poured, but the head just disappears - even though it almost blew a hole in my cealing when it opened itself. The aroma is yeasty and spicy. The flavor is of yeast and cinnamon - especially the cinnamon has been put in, in enormous amounts. This is too much for me.

(Bottle 75 cl) Beautiful reddish beer, slightly hazy with a decent head. Typical Fantome spicyness although I cannot pinpoint which spices. Some hints of licorice. Nice. 240501

Bottled. Cloudy orange. Light estery fruit aroma with a touch of menthe. Funky and lively, medium dry with light sparkling moutfeel. Lightly resiny finish with some bitterness. Complex.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge off-white and slowly collapsing head. dry and citric brett aroma. Citric, dry and yeasty flavoured. Mild malty note with a hint of caramel and mild bitterness mixed with a more intense citric brett note. Dry and fruity brett finish.

Bottle, 8%. Citric aroma, slightly rough, might be infected. Muddy brown colour. Tan head, slightly fizzy. The flavour is citric, funky and bretty. Quite malty. With Fantome, I always wonder if it is infected. At least it is drinkable.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is barnyard, lots of spices and herbs. Flavour is spices, yeast, herbs and some hints of caramel. Quite brutal, but balanced. Semidry palate. With yeast in it gets a bit more bready and solid from the spicyness.
