Fantome new Road...

Bitter, pepper, basil, menthol, bitter. By no means my favorite Tome, but strangely, it was compellingly drinkable, in a masochistic sort of way. Thanks, Competicity!

What do you think of that Turkey Hill? I’ve started seeing it at the Kroger’s near me that I hardly ever shop at and thought about grabbing some. I recently made the switch to Tillamook and I’m so far very pleased.
#talkicecream

Having just found tillamook on my last vacation, stick with tillamook. If it wasn’t for graham slam (Phillies flavor) id never eat turkey hill.

Thought I'd enjoy an afternoon Tome, but alas it had other intentions. I just picked this one up off Etre as I've yet to have a Boo.

Worst gusher I've ever had, when the cork was almost out, the bottle exploded coating the ceiling and most of the kitchen. I'm soaked. Just complete insanity. I was able to save a couple of ounces from the foam that remained in the bottle and to be honest, I'm not really digging it.

I need to go take a shower now and put on fresh clothes.

Well, its been what? ~6 years since Dany last did a purge of the nonbelievers and wrecked a few batches to scare new money off?

We will just have to weather the foam storm.

We had the biggest gusher ever of a ~5-6 year old Saison bottle last Sunday at a bottle share.

It sent the beer a good 5 feet into the air and soaked the person opening it head to toe. Maybe 2oz left in the bottle. Guy went home covered in ghost juice.

We laughed for about 10 minutes straight.

I love the lottery of Fantome.

I will never not believe.

Man the highs are just so high I’ll never stop believing.

All the newer bottles I’ve bought when in Denver have been killer.

So does the freezing the neck part really work? As much I enjoy the fun, I'd really like to drink the whole bottle.

If we know a bottle is gonna blow (and I told them an older Fantome prolly would, but no one listened #newmoney) You can open into a gallon sized resealable bag then pour from there. It’ll catch all the beer and foam pretty adequately.

How to properly open and fully consume a Dark Forest Ghost without having to harness your inner Jenna Jamison.

Step #1

Place tome in freezer until thin layer of ice just starts to form on top.

Step #2

Find your safe zone, don’t want to miscalculate and spray all the good linens.

Step #3

Have a liter TB Stein and extra large decanting vessel.

Step #4

Wait for head to recede, combine into TB Stein and enjoy with your roommates!

Just change dark forest ghost with questionably carbonated ghost in my above post for best results.

You should go buy the rest before someone else does. They wouldn't appreciate them anyway

Bought from etre last year. Had it at room temp for a year before forgetting it in my car after a tasting for a week during the hot New Orleans summer. This actually tastes incredible, like a mint Arnold Palmer. 8/10. Would forget in my car again.

I opened one last night with no code to be found

9 months ago it was a totally different beer. to me it had classic saison notes; yeasty, just a touch herbal/hop. now everything is amplified. it's almost an indescribable fruit, I know strawberry juice gets thrown around, but it's not all that. seen candied orange peel mentioned, but the bitterness isn't pithy; it's more herbal. speaking of bitter, it's a nicely restrained herbal bitter bite that lingers throughout. so unique

I opened a personal white whale the other day with PocketPants911 (I also stole his photo for this post): Extra Sour.

It was pretty great. Beautiful color and carb. A little ciderishness on the nose but nothing too distracting. It wasn't very sour, which was perfectly fine with me. Bight and slightly tart. I thought it tasted kinda fruity, like a candied orange or something. Almost no trace of the 10%. Two ghost-thumbs way up.

danyP - can we get a special version of de tous les d'iâpes if Belgium wins the world cup? Maybe a barrel-aged version?

More "classic" saison than previous bottles I've had. Peppery, slightly medicinal (camphor? benzocaine?), with a fruitiness (apple skins?) that just hovers, teasingly, around the edges, but never makes any real appearance.

I don't know if all my (?) says more about my ****** palate, or the mysteries of the 'Tome. Either way, I'm good with it.

Edit: apparently my image skills are as ****** as my palate. Don't care. Drowning my incompetence in the 2nd half of the Saison bottle.

Now this whole image thing is really bumming me out.

We could be clever and try to blame the Ghost for messing with us, but I'm just going to keep it simple and blame the new ownership. Not an auspicious start.

Sweet! My wife loves it when I show lots of cleavage.

I got a Large V before I was informed that they run very small. Looks like I’ll be wearing it as an undershirt or push-up bra.
