Fantôme Dark Spiritus Winter Project (ABV 6%) from Brasserie Fantôme is a dark and spicy Saison which pours reddish brown with a khaki-colored head. The aroma offers notes of dark bread, spice, and a hint of green herbs. Tangy and spritzy on the tongue, the sweetness of caramel malt is balanced by the peppery yeast and bitter earthiness of the finish. Another unique offering from the brewer Dany Prignon, who's been likened to a "mad scientist" by admiring beer lovers. 25.4 oz corked and capped bottle.
