9.5% abv – Phantasma is our interpretation of an old style German Porter (a style that went extinct long ago), brewed with wheat, oats, molasses and licorice root. No two blends will taste the same! It pours a viscous jet black in color and has notes reminiscent of red wines, dark fruits & hints of dark chocolate. It finishes dry with notes of oak & tannins.
