Commercial Description:
Once described as a Belgian Irish-style stout, Black Ghost has undergone lots of changes over the years. It now bears no resemblance whatsoever to a stout, and brewer Dany Prignon has begun adding spices to the beer. What they are is anybody's guess...the Fantôme confounds once again.

Shared by miketd. Thanks! Almost black body with little head. Nice sour aroma mixed with what seems to be rye and spices. The flavor follows with a hint of black pepper, some unripe fruits, and chocolate melding together for a nice flavor. Nicely done.

Big bottle - pours a really robust orange/red/brown with a lively beige head. No lacing to speak of. Flavors of soy sauce, apples, lemons, spices. Really nice sour finish. Definitely one of the better Fantome offerings. Need to find more!

Almost mud colored with lots of sediment. Decent light tan foamy head. Smell is barnyard, almost sour like, malts, and horsey. Taste is sweet, tart, fruit, sour like goodness. Lots of complexity, very good.

Dark Black in color. Vinous, sour aroma. Flavor is dark fruits, spices, vinegar and lemons. Definitely a hodge podge of flavors that ultimately doesn’t do anything for me.

pour is a cloudy dark brown with a small beige head, good lacing.
smell is faint, musty, some dark fruits, almost a red wine smell.
taste is sour, dark fruits (prune, raisin, red grapes), malt in the back, some spice, dry ending, thick mouth-feel, some bitterness, sour lingering aftertaste.

Murky appearance. Funky, fun aromas. Lots of sour fruit and soap. Big bursting high carbonation. Sour, some oxidation, Strange, interesting, and engaging flavors.
