COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the small village of Ohis, France, there's a young girl named Justine who needs our help. Justine is suffering from a rare, neurological condition known as leukodystrophy, which often leads to paralysis, and we are all trying to raise money for her desperately-needed operation.

Brasserie Fantôme's Dany Prignon, and his brewer friend Gilles Didier (who lives in Ohis), conceived the brilliant idea of brewing a special beer to be sold at auction to raise money for this operation. So they they created a special, strong version of Dany's rare and delicious Pissenlit saison, brewed with dandelions. This is a one-time, very limited edition -- only 20 bottles are available! Each bottle has been numbered and signed by Dany and Gilles, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the European Leukodystrophy Association, which is trying to help Justine.

Big thanks to Sebastian for sharing this. Pours hazy brown, mostly flat, with a ring of white foam around the edge of the glass. Aroma is flowers, iced tea, black pepper, and caramel malts. Flavor is mostly just iced tea with flowers steeped in it but also plenty of malt, some oxidation, tobacco, and lemons. Thin body.

RBWG from FlacoAlto. An honor to be able to taste such a rare gem. Murky brownish color. Yeast, light toffee, spices and lightly funky aroma. Flavor follows suit. Yeast, light fruit, spice. Taste the rareness.

Bottle-huge thanks to FlacoAlto for sharing what could be the most rare beer of all time! however, im not going to rate this beer on its rareness, im going to rate it as it is a beer. dark copper hue with a small fizzy white head. dark fruits on tne nose-plums, brown sugar. lots of black pepper on the flavors with a long sweet finish. really not all that complex of a beer but given its age, im sure i needed a bigger sample than what i had. however, i can say i had this beer!

Bottle generously shared @ RBWG (18/20) by FlacoAlto...thank you, my friend!!! Truly amazed that I got an opportunity to try this. This one pours a cloudy chestnut/amber with a wispy white head. Aroma is biscuit, caramel, lemongrass, and tea. Flavor is a bit fruity with honey, cherries, citrus, and black tea. Can’t at all distinguish the 12% ABV...beautifully hidden. Nice!!!

dionysus (1443) - Arizona, USA - APR 4, 2011
Bottle generously shared by FlacoAlto at AZRBWG. Pour is hazy copper with a khaki head. Aroma shows notes of black tea, tobacco leaves, lemon zest, dandelion, and some additional herbal/floral qualities. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of onion, white pepper, red apples and a touch of funk. Very pleased to have been able to sample this rarity, thanks Sebas! I never would have guessed the ABV in a million years.
