Tonight, with a bit of assistance from my father-in-law, I bottled the Fantôme clone. Even after the addition of all that fruit puree and with more bubbling, the F.G. was 1.000!!! It started at 1.050, fermented down, then fruit was added. It was definitely thin in body, but you could taste a bit of alcohol in there, too. Mild fruity character.
We'll see how it carbonates. I used DME to prime, which I'd not done in quite some time (was priming with corn sugar). Hopefully, that will take away a bit of the off-sweetness in some of my other homebrews.
I have the ingredients for another batch of coffee porter sitting here, but now I have to find the time in the next couple of weeks to make it!

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Helps to read somebody's straight-up impressions along the way. Fruit...hmmm...may be something for me to try soon.
