I don't even know what Brazilian Guarana is! Still not sure if it's fruit or bat ****... or fruitbat ****...

Excited either way!

im guessing that having that listed as an ingredient pretty much secures it as never being distributed in the US

It just hit etre, btw.

"Guaraná is reputed to be a stimulant and increase mental alertness, fight fatigue, and increase stamina and physical endurance."

Is this Artist on Être the same as the on that made it to the states?

Dany, any Automne being made this year?

After further review of a lot of 2014 bottles, I would like to proclaim that Fantome is indeed "back"

was gonna post something similar to this yesterday while it was on my mind.

however, of the couple ive had im not impressed with the cracked black peppery notes and less fruited quality in some. also, not a fan of the increased bitterness. it seems to me like the beers now have a clearly defined and "different" yeast contribution whereas in the past it was not this way...i donno kinda hard to explain that classic fantome house character that i just dont get in the newer stuff...maybe it will appear in time?

[ShogoKawada]

[SirDickButts]

This is goooood.

 

[Odesseiron]

Pretty good, but extremely lemony.

 

[henrythehippo]

Had a Printemps last night that had to be the last bottle off the line. No infection but a potpuri level of spice and a ton of sediment

 

[stakem1]

I got to try sante 17 and 18. Sante 17 was a pretty crazy riff on something along the lines of ginger beer. Sante 18 was like a carbonated version of tart cranberry juice. Enjoyed them both but would bang multiple 18's before revisiting 17 if i had a choice in the matter.

Looking forward to sampling the new batches of blanche, dalmatienne, ete and chocolat hopefully sometime soon.

Speaking of chocolat, trxxpaxxs care to elaborate on the disappointing negative "rate" i happened to notice you gave?

Ooof. It was pretty brutal.

The bottle I had was very tart with big notes of rubber and antiseptic. You know the way a fresh band-aid smells when you open it? It tasted like that, but with an added lemon note. Mild spice/heat in the finish as the beer cleared off the palate. I haven't had many bad experiences with any of Dany's beers (all bottles of Hiver and Noel have all be solid), but this was definitely a poor outcome.

I have another bottle of Chocolat in the cellar, and even after my last experience, I'm not afraid to open it. I will report back again when I do.

Side note: Opened a Brise-BonBons last week and it was great. If anyone is keeping notes at home. Nothing crazy to report on that bottle. Just a solid, well made, beverage.

I'm glad to see this. I bought a bottle with no knowledge of it and then read some horrifying reviews. Good to know somebody likes it.

 

[tectactoe1]

cracked Ete for the first time, super duper long want for me. shared with some good peeps at Darkness Day. this was really, really ******* good. believed to be vintage 2008.

 

[Dunt1]

Anyone had the new vintage of Ete yet? Heard it was flat, but have since seen carbed pics of it. Cant wait to get my bottles!
