#8 Fantome Boo

I have a slight disclaimer before the pictures. This beer was probably over a year old when I bought it, if I'm lucky. It left a dust ring when I picked it up off of the shelf. If you decide to try and buy this, look for sediment in the bottom. You won't know it's there until the last 1/5 of the bomber. Which, up until this point, was when I would take the photos.



No, beer should not look like gross coffee. It was a more orange-ish color when it started. Second disclaimer: I have no clue if it is a pumpkin beer or not. I've looked, believe me. There are some sites that say it is, and some that say it isn't. The Fantome website was no help. This may also be the only foreign "pumpkin" beer I find. I have scoured Indy at this point and this is the only one I could find. Also, it came with a cork under the cap! How bizarre.


Taste: How can something be both smoky and sour? This beer proves that it's possible. My best guess is a German-style Rauchbeer (smoked beer) with pumpkin added. It's so bizarre.
Smell: Sour, like old pumpkin.
Color: Paarl (#935382)
Stars: 2.5/10 (the bottom is a 0)
Buy Again?: No. God no. Keep away from Pumpkins, Belgium.

UPDATE: This was the only foreign "pumpkin" beer I was able to locate.
