Trying to get The Trappist to sell me a glass.

Unsuccessfully.
 
Sometimes a British accent will get you places.

$6, I can live with that.
achievement unlocked!


this glass gives me so many mixed feels. its my favorite glass ever but i feel like a scumbag each time I use it since Dany does not approve

ive almost contemplated getting rid of it to remove the temptation to use it with every tome i drink

Opened this around 2 A.M. because why the hell not? Thank you Dunt!

Smell is cherry, toffee and a bit of balsamic, old tropical fruits/citrus, toasted bread.
Taste is similar with a distinct candied citrus and tart cherry like fruitiness, sort of reminds me of a tart and funky pineapple upside down cake, and orange juice. Strange Saison/Flemish red hybrid vibes.

Really impressed, the alcohol is well masked as always and this was very aromatic and flavorful at cellar/room temp. Would love to see this hit stateside when the time is right.
 
So.... the Fantome Grimm collab is taking a turn towards something amazing.

When I first had it fresh, it was very hefeweizen-like. Popped a bottle tonight and the clearly defined belgian phenolics/yeastiness has really died down and citrus flavors are now front and center. I pretty much took 1 sip and chugged my glass, poured a second glass and now im trying to make it last.... so good

Just finished my only bottle and I agree 100%. Need to find more!
 
For the first time in 15 years, a bar in northeast Pennsylvania is getting a keg of Fantome saison. They are tapping it on Sunday.

I have driven a lot further than 1.5 hours for something less meaningful than this.
 
Sabatini's

Never been there, heard nothing but good things. Have a friend and fellow TB'r who lives near there so I will likely be going and taking some sidecar crusty tomes to share.

The place is great. 24 taps plus a 1k+ bottle shop. I can't wait.
Really a great spot. I wish this was two weeks from now so I could join you. My folks live 5 minutes away. There's still a lot of Alexander on the shelf if you are looking for more.
