Is Fantome "back"?

[tosh1]

I'm wasted now... (3rd Fantome of the night) Just finished a La Dalmatienne (white label) it wassssssss different like people say... Lime yes.....
Bong water maybe!
But my best description is eating an indoor plant as a child...
It has that plant like taste I don't know if it is the plant taste or the indoor soil or that weird fake moss smell and taste??? Ha ha ha!

Dany you are the best!!! I don't know how you do it or why you do it but your beers are addictive... to see what comes next!!!


Go Golden State...

I give you Fantome ladies and gentelmen, embrace it.

Just finished an Été with ok carbonation but it still had ropeiness from the lacto or pedio... It was GREAT!!! The flavors were totally different from the other èté I bought in the same batch! Best tasting èté I've had in a long time!!! I'm saving the dregs for secondary fermentations

ropey like some of the "sick" saison bottles a few years ago?

hadn't heard of any etes with that issue yet...

Yes, same "sick", but not as thick as that

Just got a bottle of La Dalmatienne with a best by date of July 2014. Anybody know a bottling date? Anybody had one of these recently?

Still really interested on a bottling date if anyone knows.

If it has a best buy 2014, its most likely the 2011/12 batch. I havent had one in more than a year and found it to be uncharacteristically boozy (by tome standards) with a tartness akin to cranberry.

Just picked up one each of La Dalmatienne, Coffee Ruby, and Choclat. Will report back tonight

So how bad is this **** really? Almost every one of their beers I've had has been garbage. I think I only really liked regular ass saison

The label says "really bitter" or something. How bitter is it REALLY?

The Dalmatienne isn't bad... just different! I have three more and I can't wait to taste another one soon!

I'm an ******* and a realist. When someone usually tells me something isn't bad, it usually is bad.

Anyway, the Dalmation, Coffee turd, and printemps are shelfturding away at my store.

I loved it.. ****** weird but that's to be expected.

Well, then why the hell did you ask in the first place?

Dalmations are ******* boss.

 

[thefleshlight]

Because I didn't know if it was "good" or "bad"

The Coffee Ruby is pretty good!!! A Murphy's Irish Stout w/ some barnyard funk!

In my quest to get more tomes I found a seriously dusty bottle of Dark White and an old label Dalmatienne. I'm coming back for that one later, but what are the chances that that Dark White is still good?

I don't think you will have a problem with it being still good. The problem might be if it was good in the first place. No bottle dating makes it hard to tell if it is from the burnt bandaid era. So honestly, when I see a dusty Fantome, I usually pass on it unless I know how long it has been sitting around for.

I agree, after the discounted bottle I got last year that produced a Saison fountain of band aid, that arced out of the kitchen widow, I stick to the new stuff. Got 2 stores on the do not buy list until I see new stock.

Yep, that's why I didn't ask about the other dusties I saw: a reg Saison and a Noel with a faded label. Just was wondering if the Dark White aged more gracefully than the rest.

Dusty Fantomes are ALWAYS worth the gamble. You people are crazy.

 

[Quatz]

Latest batch of Pissenlit is seriously good. Maybe a little sweet right now but I'm glad I bought 3 bottles because I definitely want to see how this tastes with a little age on it.
