    So I bought a bottle this morning, thinking I knew more or less what I was getting into with a Fantome Extra Sour, but it turns out it's the Extra Sour Black Dark version. There are only 2 reviews here and 3 more hads, and I can't find a whole lot of information out there on this beer. So ... help! What did I just buy? I'm intimidated by the two very different reviews and have little idea what to expect with this one.

    I'm assuming this is showing up elsewhere as well.

    Being 1 of the 2 people who wrote a review on this brew, I can tell you with 100% certainty that what you have will be awesome or bad or somewhere in-between.

    You can probably have this ten times and then be able to make ten different reviews yourself. We're speaking of Fantôme, aren't we ?

    You really wanna know what you are getting into?

    Think strange porter blended with tea and lemony lacto tartness.
    "Sour" it is not.
    You may or may not have the following:
    * fruit, funk, earth, cigar ash tray, minerals, herbal hops, gangster's paradise

    Any, all or none of the above * items may or may not apply.

    Whoops, missed this yesterday. It was at Warehouse Liquors. They also have Love Child No. 3 and some other stuff based on this vine they posted yesterday.
