Fantome new Road...

[jtclockwork]

i know a ton of people who love to see some in New Jersey!

I know I would. I am woefully low on Fantome at the moment.

Sometimes you need a morning Tome while you brew. Sometimes you had too much Scotch the night before and you need to get the hair off. Sometimes it’s both.

New batch? How’s it doing?

This batch was very good out of the gate, but is going through a bit of an awkward phase. Still has the delicious lemon-lime character, but is pretty bitter and is just now starting to get some Tome funk.

Got my Etre order today, which contained my Tome shirt. It’s a pretty badass shirt.

Posting this as a recommendation for when the next shirts go up:

I got an XL. I typically wear a large and can wear a bigger medium. I’m glad I got an XL Tome shirt. It’s a hair long for me but a large might have been too tight.

Also going to have to get into a Sergio or Sante. Will report back.

Inspired by Stakem, opened at Extra Sour dark, quite better than I remember. Still lots of that pipe tobacco stuff going on, but not the harsh smoke that it once had. Really comes off like a thinner tart Hair of the Dog Adam.

Next opened one of the 2016 US release classics, tons of lime, still some solid bitterness, really nice. Like a slightly less aggressive 2016 Dalmatienne white label.

I think I got this at an awkward time...menthol and alcohol burn were predominant...don’t get me wrong, I would drink again, but what does some age do here?

As far as I know, this is the first time I have seen this on the shelf out here?

Frothy bugger, but I have to say I am really liking this. Will go buy a couple more tonorrow.

Cork wanted to leave on its own, in no rush but the Ghost wanted out with no mechanical aids.

Last pours still had some vigour

The older magic ghost gets, the more i dont like it. At least that was the case with the OG batch. With every passing year it seemingly became more tannic/astringent

I couldn’t find a date on the bottle.

I guess I bought it from Etre in 2017.

Good to know though, fresher better on this one - thanks all!

Had to open a Magic Ghost to confirm. Best by 2019 batch, Lot 2A 1O 16 is tasty: herbal, a bit minty, dry, fruity, very tea-like. Carb was spot on.

 

[user 305963]

So this is weird. Sweet yet sour like a flanders. Malty, dry finish. Only the ghost knows.

 

[GregorySingh]

Tomin out here in Long Beach for the Rams game tonight. This one has a nice musty bitterness up front, and finishes medium dry. Very drinkable...easily dusting this bottle. The ghost did not disappoint tonight. Cheers!

This looks like it was mislabeled, maybe Printemps?

I've had recent Magic Ghosts pour that muddy brown. Specifically, the batch made in January '17 that was on Etre for a long time. I love Magic Ghost, so I loaded up on that batch. It was a horrendous mistake by me.

Edit: The pours get more green as you get to the dregs. Definitely Magic Ghost.

2017 - the magicless ghost

 

[mjohnson171]

I’m pretty sure it was Magic Ghost. The sun and natural light make the picture look more brown than it really was. IRL it was more green. Not vibrant green, but muddled brownish/green. Plus it tasted like a Magic Ghost. But the Ghost is mysterious so one can never be sure....

Based on other comments I opened mine from the same batch number. Definitely what I expect from Magic Ghost colorwise. Anyone know what gives the green hue?Sorel perhaps?

I'd like to see a Fantôme collab with a lambic brewer/blender danyP

 

[primebeer]

Drank a Fantome Ete that HopStunna opened yesterday and it was pretty damn solid. Tasted like a malty Arnold Palmer in the best possible way. Will be buying those when I see them in the future, I'm intrigued.
