Tasted from a 75 cl bottle - as usual with Fantôme. Arty label promises enough, but when we actually opened this, a shocking disappointment followed. First of all, it had practically no head worth mentioning, just a thin layer of off-white, tiny bubbles which quickly disappeared; the beer itself had a brownish orange blonde colour but was completely cloudy from the first pour - often an ominous sign. The aroma was downright horrible: apart from some barnyard funkiness, basil, dried mushrooms, orange peel, apple cake and undefined spices, one odour dominated the whole bouquet, an odour I cannot but describe as a mixture of chicken soup and... vomit. Not even a hint of vomit - something I have never encountered in any other beer - but a very disturbing, obnoxious and off-putting, sour, vile stench. After pulling myself together, I still decided to give it a try and tasted, and as expected, it did not behave any better in the mouth; sourish, funky, estery with some starfruit and orange accents, weird spiciness as usual in this brand, but then retronasally the vomit came up again; sourish, drying, very yeasty and yoghurty finish. Needless to say, the mouthfeel was thin and watery without any carbonation to speak of. With Black Sabbath playing in the background, this was something of a horror tasting; I am used to Fantôme coming up with weird things, but more often than not, Dany Prignon manages to create something appealing and interesting in all its weirdness. This was just weird and extremely unpleasant. Clearly an infected bottle (though I have no idea which kind of bacteria can be responsible for the vomit odour) and since it is Fantôme, I wouldn’t mind giving this a second chance, as it is clear that Prignon could not have intended this to smell and taste as disgusting as it did.

Bottle 750ml @ yngwie
Pours hazy copper with a small off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, yeast, dried fruits and some spices. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a strange spiced and fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft to flat.

Bottle, 75cl. An unclear. orange-golden beer with a finger-thick creamy, beige head. The aroma is spiced and herbal, with dried oregano, some citrus peel, a malty touch and a generic forest-ish and fruity hint. It’s rather unusual, that’s for sure, and the flavor follows the same path, with a pleasant herbal bitterness reminding me of myrica gale. Full to medium body, quite dry, with a soft carbonation level. Far from the best Fantôme I’ve had, but it gets better after some sips, and the sourness that at first felt misplaced turns out to be pleasant. 141206

Tasted under less than ideal circumstances. No head left, fully flat & hazy, muddy orange-brown beer. Spices, orangepeel, mushrooms, watered meatgravy. Sourish, spicy and again fully reminding of (watered) meatgravy and -juices. Probably spcied with orange and gingersauce, marjoram and purée de marrons. Wry finish. Terribly thin, and flat, probably due to the bad preservation. Well, even Fantôme deserves a second try. Txs to M. and L. V. for the effort!

750 ml. bottle sampled @ “Exclusive S&G Tasting: Special guest 77ships”. Thanks to PriorL. Dark orange, almost no head. Thick sweet orange nose, white sugar nose, spoiled orange, yoghurt, off yeast. Taste is bitter orange juice, bland, sweet, light sour, spoiled orange taste, not very pleasant, sugar, pepper, rotting. Bitter orange. Biscuit body. Sigh, Fantôme is way past it these days, in my opinion. This isn’t very pleasant.
