Bottle. Cheers Mike! 2019 job. Hazed, pale bronze. Fantome swede. Nose has dessert apple. Pomace. Spicy brett. Old lemon. Some wet leather. Smells great. Taste is sweet and a little tart. Moderate bitterness compared to most Fantome brews. Smooth mouthfeel. A little dry and tart. Foamy carbonation. Tart fruity finish. Won the roulette here.

Bottle, as D'Automne 2019. Amber with a pale beige head that fades to a good coat. Aroma of ginger biscuit, lemon, grapefruit, moderate funk. A bit more than light bodied, fairly high carbonation. Not all that sweet but there's an richness to the start of a sip before spices (ginger, anise, coriander, cassia) and zesty and juicy citrus lighten things towards a dry and quite bitter finish. Engaging.

Corked botte. pale amber color. Cloudy. Initial malt. Spicy citrus aroma. Tart lemon flavor with some coreander and anis. Well balanced, especially for a Fantome brew. Very nice!

Bottle @ Doodler. A little murky orange appearance with a thin tan head. Fairly spicy and herbal nose with some orange and citrus. Somewhat tart flavor with lemon juice, guava, and apricot. A little bready and funky. Interesting.

The autumn version in the series of ’four season Fantômes’, with thick, stable, creamy, yellowish beige head and dark bronze colour with orange hue, hazy, but fully clouded after addition of the deposit. Spicy aroma of ginger, pepper, grapefruit, thyme, kiwi, sour cherries, earth, wood, dried leaves, bread, wine vinegar. Tingling fruitiness in the onset but only lightly sweetish, dry spicy middle, citrus freshness, lactic acidity, long bitter finish with cheesy hops and a yoghurt-like sourishness that cloys a bit. The beginning of the bottle also had a noticeable cork taste, which fortunately disappeared after adding more of the beer. Weird as ever, a kind of special saison, but not my favorite as far as this brewery is concerned.

750mL bottle, courtesy of julian, pours a dirty, cloudy amber / mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma seems a tad oxidized and very malty, with dry cherries, some tannic qualities, and a bit of red wine vinegar. Flavour of red wine vinegar, tobacco, and leather most dominantly, and some dry caramel or toffee a little later. The oxidized qualities certainly show as well but definitely don't kill it. While this has certainly passed its prime, the leather and tobacco notes help save this. Doesn't strike me a saison, more like a Belgian amber ale. Very interesting one.
