QUICK BITE: Fantome Chocolat

Another in my series of large format bottle beer.  This is Chocolat which is from Fantome in Belgium.  It is a saison style.   Traditional saison is usually fruity and carbonated.   They upped the game here by brewing with cocoa and chili pepper.  You can definitely taste the essence of chocolate - it has a bit of chalkiness  and bitterness you'd expect from cocoa powder.   For the pepper, I sense more of a freshness from green bell pepper, not a spicy chili pepper.  Not a bad taste, just expected a bit more punch on the palate.  This has an ABV of 8% so it certainly isn't a session beer.  I would recommend.  The listed price for the bottle at Mr Dunderbaks was $20 and I got for $10 during their half price table sale.  Well worth that.
