Founded in 1988, Brasserie Fantôme has gained international attention and a cult following among lovers of craft beers. Owned and run by Dany Prignon, Fantôme is known for its unique variations on the Saison style of farmhouse ale, often involving the use of herbs, spices or fruit juice. Within the craft beer community, Fantome saisons are considered highly desirable and have developed a significant audience in the United States and United Kingdom. Ironically, while their complex, earthy, and herbal flavors have caused them to be sought out by connoisseurs outside of Belgium, Fantôme's products are difficult to find and not well known in the country of their origin.

Bottle. Pale amber with a good inch of white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of crackery dough, grapefruit, cloves, pepper, lime cordial, lemongrass. Cleanish with some phenolic notes as well as citrusy hops. Decisive bitterness.

Bottle. Black colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is cherries, some toffee, sweet alcohol, spices and some dried fruits too. Flavour is cherries and a bunch of herbal tones (kind of Underberg vibe to it) with some wooden and dried fruity tones. Not that sweet. Interesting herbal aftertaste.

Bottle (Milkhead Beers). Just unclear amber with a luxuriant white head. Aroma of mildly funky dough, floaty floral and citrus notes, spices. So it tastes - dryish with snappy bitterness and some spiciness that could be phenol and could be actual spices at the end. Quaffable with some intrigue. Fairly clean and nicely punchy at the end. Wouldn't guess 8%.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5

Pours clear brown, medium large off-white head. Scent is Spicy, loads of winter vibes still standing after all these years. Taste is sweet, loads of spices ( too much to my taste) but it does kindof match the idea and the beer. Age doesn't seem to have violated it (yet) , which is quite nice. Lasting bitterness lingers. Some age factor shows, but it works smoothly
