For this year’s Rainbow Project collaboration with Garage Project we drew the colour indigo. After much research on both sides the idea that excited us all most was that of the Blacklight Banana. Ripe bananas uniquely glow bright indigo under UV lights, one possible reason for this being that it identifies them as a food source for animals that see in the UV range, like bats. Molasses, Caramelised Bananas, Banana Purée and Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Beans elevate this beer to something special.

Bottled. A black beer with a brown shine under a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, alcohol, and bananas. The flavor is sweet with notes of bananas, roasted malt, bread, and alcohol, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle from the brewery as part of Internation Project 2016 box. Intense coffee aroma, with liquorice some sweetness. Dark with a fluffy if not luxurious beige head. Banana, burnt caramel and treacle rear their heads. Bitterness then envelops, with a real coffee/liquorice and booze hit. Think bodied. Slick. Oily. Muted carbonation. Long boozy finish, can feel it on the tip of my tongue and down the back of my throat. Decent but not as a much of a banana these as I would have hoped for.
