Can shared at work. Pours oily black with a beige head. Nose is big on bananas and bourbon, there's nuts, honey and chocolate. Taste is bananas upfront, then the bourbon, honey, nuts and dark chocolate take over with some caramelized sugar. Maintains a nice balance between sweet and bitter, it doesnt become overwleming. Ib fact it opens up nicely as it warms. Closes with a sweetish, boozy finish, has a nice thick body and soft carbonation.

PKG 10/01/19. Black, thick, with a creamy dense tan head. Smell is sweet, banana, roast. Smooth and fairly thick body, some carb for relief. Taste is pulpy banana allright, but not too much to cover the stout. Still some nice coffee roast, balanced.

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is sweet, malty, mild banana. Taste is full, roasty, sharper banana (mild). Medium alcoholic notes. Chocolaty (bitter chocolate) . Decent. Not as banana forward as expected.

Taste: soft roast, very yeasty, lots of banana yeast, very alcoholic, bitter, hoppy, alcohol burn, dry, weird stuff. Aftertaste: alcohol, roast, bitter, dry, more alcohol, ok but not great, more caramel.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour both start with sweet banana. Then elements of caramel vanilla and bourbon. Luckily not too sweet.
