750mL bottle, Undated A very bright and coppery-orange pour, light reds and golds in there. Big foamy off-white head. Aroma of bitter orange, tons of funky yeast, hints of a fiery herbalness and some alcohol. Flavor is bold and spicy. The yeast explodes in your mouth, leaving a huge and complex funk swirling around, light cheese, grass, and generally reminds me of an extremely hot sunny day on a farm. The flavor never seems to quit though, and you get a good dose of alcohol, strong orange liqueur notes and what might be perceived as a lightly spicy vegetable-like juiciness. I loved this one. It was pretty aggressive, but I was definitely in the mood for something bold, and there was enough sweetness to balance (maybe a bit too much towards the end of the bottle), with interesting flavors and the always unique Fantome yeast. Would definitely buy again soon. This stuff would age magnificently. 2004 Draught at Redbones. Mmmm, yes, I do believe Fantome is quite tasty on draught. First the regular saison, now this. I love it, sweet but lightly sour as well, though not astringent. Powerful citrus and sugar with alcohol notes. All the while, the yeast imparts a complex flavor. Thick and juicy, like they squeezed fresh dandelion juice in to this stuff. A hearty saison!

2000 bottle compliments of Goldorak sampled on 11/6/05. In the nose are notes of madeira and strong Fantome yeast, with light caramel and sweet dark fruits. Flavor shows pleasant oxidation, with a strong herbal spiciness, light caramel that stays out of the way, but yet provides a supportive body. Light tanginess on the end and a definite B. Lambicus presence of sour cherries in the middle. Still poured a fine bubbled head, fairly well retained, overtop a dark olive and mahogany brown. Mouthfeel is still tightly carbonated, with light expansiveness.
