Nov 20, 2008 750 ml bottle. Very nice wood and sweet sugar aromas off this beer. Hints of grass and flowers too. Flavor was a bit more spicy with some more sugar and sweet malts. Very good Saison

Oct 27, 2008 750ml bottle. Lightly hazy with an amber color and huge head. Floral aroma with wood, malt and a touch of spice. The flavor is as good as any Fantome I’ve ever had. This one is a bit sweet with a tart fruit presence that allows the sweetness to come through without being cloying. Candy, malt and caramel in there as well. Medium body with a semi-dry tart finish. I’d get this again.

Oct 16, 2008 Roughly half of my ratings start with the following sentence: Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Poured a hazy light orange color with a white head. Smelled of lemony dish soap, pastry, and spices. Light to medium bodied and slightly sweet. Spicy clove, apricot, and orange dominated the flavor. Very. Nice.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Spicy cinnamon and peppery aroma. Cloves and citrus in the flavor with some toffee and butterscotch. A solid offering with a nice etoh warming.

Oct 4, 2008 Lots of yeast in the aroma. After sitting awhile in my basement, it still pours a very nice head. Golden. Much golder than I expected. Bit funky in the taste, which is nice. Not overwhelming. Also some sweetness. Probably too sour and funky for my wife, but just right for me. Nice. I kept forgetting I had this one, and today I remembered to pull it. Just in time for the Mizzou game.
