Reviewed from notes.
On tap at C.H. Evans on 11/23/2019.
Appearance: dark brown color close to black in color with a slim cap of a khaki foamy head which tapered off at a nice pace but didn't leave much lace if any at all.
Aroma: some banana esters, light smoke, sweet wheat, slight clove tones and a little bit of cocoa powder
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to smoky toned wheaty semi-chocolatey arrangement; finishes semi-chocolatey with a light banana to smoky sweetness
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; decent smoothness and a "subtle" kick of wheat but man oh man - that was a bit weak on that kick
Overall: I can't seem to find any further research anywhere else but part of me thinks that this was intentionally "smoked" which makes me wonder if it was then would that have scaled back the "kick?" Honestly, I don't know enough but I do believe I would come back to this. Also odd that the clove didn't show up more than just in the aroma...hmmm...
