6/6/2026. Can at the June ITFC beer share. Bought at 3at3, Ely. Courtesy of Jordan, cheers. Good pour. Nice aroma. Nutty, chocolate, marshmallow, berry aroma. Taste is raspberry marshmallow and lots of berry sour. Surprisingly sour. Not what was expected (or intended?) and a disappointing end to my Phantom beer experience with an aptly named beer.
