A Belgian ’saison-style’ ale brewed with cocoa powder and chili pepper? Ay, Caramba! Score another first for the unpredictable brewery that was the first -- and so far the only - brewery to make ales out of dandelions and mushrooms, among other things.

Shared 750ml bottle. Pours pale gold with a bit of haze. Aroma of yeast, fruit, and spice. Tastes more like a Belgian ale or Belgian strong ale than a saison. Cocoa is very faint as is the chili pepper. Interesting.

Hazed glowing deep golden color with a fine white head. Looks good and inviting. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Mild chocolate is dominating the flavor. Aslo some yeast, malty and some spices. Not really exciting.

Brus bottle: pours a hazy brownish orange with a large white head. Aroma is mostly the funky yeasts, maybe a hint of pepper. Chocolate is not really in the aroma but vaguely in the taste. Really funky innthe taste. Good body. Complex and interesting, even if the name is sort of misleading.

At Mrk’s. Bottle courtesy of Maakun. Amber colored beer with quick diminishing head. Sweet caramel malts, sweet roasted chili peppers, grassy, lemon, (lemon balm), honey, mushroom like mold. Quite sweet, light sour bend. Light carbonation, creamy feel, very spiced.

Bottle shared. Slight hazy copper with little clumps floating around. Lots of spices, caramel, sugary, cocoa, quite light chili, peppery yeast, lemon and lemon balm. Bit over medium sweet, light spicy, under medium bitter and a sour touch. Medium bodied. Quite weird but pretty decent.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Alexey’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy yellow. Nice funky aroma, fruity, with a floral note, a vegetal hint, and a cocoa hint. Tart flavor, funky, with fruits, flowers, faint cocoa note, and a light vegetal chili note. Medium-bodied. Nice. Cocoa and chili are very faint.

*Old rating. Best before June 12. Typisch säuerlich und trotzdem weiches Fantôme-Bier. Die Schokolade und das Chili sind nicht ganz auszumachen, Gewürze, intensiv, süffig, rund. Lecker!
