I drank 8 ghosts last night and forgot all about this top tier, hard-hitting beer journalism: a Fantome coovie revue.
Inb4 “all those vintage fantomes were clearly faked” or some beta-tier 9gag shit.

Identify the worst brewery name you are aware of.
The post with the most likes, I will send that brewery an autographed hand drawn photo of subby D and a home brew condolambic
The person who suggested it will receive same.
These must be real breweries.
Each person can nominate 1, choose wisely.

It is more sweet, a bit more cherry tart, a touch more clean and dry in a jolly rancher and logsdon hybrid. The carb is flat, it is inherently strange but an awesome Malbec grape on the finish. Certainly a tome you need to bang. All those inherently taunting recommendations and all that shit.
LOL what if DDB just posted this shit instead of making fun of the 1% consumables market.
Holy fuck. I mean this. One of the best fantomes if not the best Saisons I have ever had. This is Peconic meets Framboos just unendingly framboise and a depth of fruit and tannins that dance in a crazy way. This is dry and coats with a sticky juicy profile even after all these years. Think of FFaC and then cut it with something from Vapeur. Beyond a doubt one of the best Saisons I have ever tasted. The low carb just leads to intense pulls and mind blowing fruit roll up finish like red 5 and kissing a hot Bolivian woman in a farmers market. It is unendingly satisfying in a traditional and near perfect way.
There is simply nothing that approaches this in poise or execution. The CCK of the saison world.

This tastes crazy old for this vintage. This is pumpkin, caramel, fennel, some earthy legumes and a strange musky canvas dryness like a shoe store. There is a crazy strange gourd and distinctively fall/root vegetable thing that is okay I guess. Yams are fine if your cousin throws in an HJ. Don’t make it weird.
NOT BEINF EXCITED ABOUT A TOME MY T LEVELS ARE AT AN ALL TIME LOW
Not my jam, not all ghosts can follow inhabit , some just haunt. This is perhaps a great paring beer but just too strange to go solo and the weird soapy finish just hasn’t held up over time. I love tomes but this is one you can avoid unless you are a god tier ghost completionist like Dunt.
Or Dbellz.
Sometimes versatility doesn’t lead to solid results
This 2010 banger is not as musky or oxy as anticipated but still exhibits a solid Brett B profile and leather character coupled with mango and papaya chewiness to the finishing grist that is very tasty.
Sticky citrus ghost
Doesn’t like tomes . Doesn’t know why. Loves hyper-acidic AWAs, doesn’t know why.
I will tell you this but I swear to fuck you better not tell these n00b tickers. Tome is back on again and ratchets be slipping down them jordache cut offs. This is new but funky hay meets caramel and musky with crazy cherry and green apple. This is different from even those 2010 bottlings of this were not up to this quality. That brick lined mash tun keeping offshelf ballers in the dark making their weak ass latex jokes.
Praying these tomes stay on the shelf. Praying shortsighted neophytes still think Saisons and AWA are the same thing.
