skrip can give more details than I on the pissenlit sour. All I will say is that it is unlike anything I thought Dany was capable of and if he accidentally sold these as normal pissenlit people are going to be weirded out for sure.
Cisse Leuze is like funktified cider with fantome earthiness.
Rucola is unmistakable fantome house character that starts off really cheesy and unique and breathes into classic aged fantome maltiness and fruit.
Strange ghost was a 2001 bottle and it was such a friggen odd ball. It smelled like black licorice but taste was like earl grey tea.
The classic saison with half missing label was from 1992 and it was a gem. All sorts of melon, strawberry and that house brett character that only comes out in a well aged bottle.
St Laurent and Bir del gat are similar with oxidation and maltiness being the lead characters with varying layers of fruitiness and earthen character. I think bir del gat had a bit more complexity with almost a hint of vanilla and caramel.

We also drank the most recent Fantome release called le pol de ol. Nothing but disappointment in my opinion. It was linear and boring - just green yeastiness and touch of bitterness. I think it was the only bottle that was left with some liquid in it and noone wanted to finish it.
I totally agree with all of this! great stuff all around! cheers man!!!
The Pissenlit Sour was given to me by Dany a couple years ago, at the time he mentioned he was going to get little stickers to put on the bottle to mark that they are sour. he claimed it was brewed with different "souring" yeast and it most definitely was! crazy different than any tome i've ever had, no bitterness like most recent ones as well. I messaged him earlier in the week to make sure it was drinking ok and he said it should be, at the time he also said he can't remember what he did with the rest of the bottles... now he's saying he liked it so much he drank them all himself hahaha! i'm gonna push him to make another batch if thats the case

I think the more important question to ask here is…which “Fantome yeast” - the one Dany uses that is as basic as basic can be and is available for anyone to buy or did they culture up some dregs from a fabulous bottle?Anyone try this beer? It’s a wine-barrel aged farmhouse with Fantôme yeast.
I’m intrigued.
Call me negative but im doubting its the latter.
Stern. But fair.

Forgot I left a Boo in the fridge for Halloween, so I went to crack it just now. Popped the cork and it GUSHED EVERYWHERE. Fucking Yellowstone geyser. Despite being right next to the sink, it got all over me, the floor, counters and into some of the drawers. Aside from my own homebrew, I've never had anything explode like that on me. I think I'm done with ghosts for a while.

Dany can go fuck himself and bring a mop.
Why you lashing out at Dany when you know you fucked up and left those ghosts bottled up for 3 full days after All Hallows Eve?
