375ml bottle pours out copper color. Nose is great nice barrel sweet honey some banana split kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet notes hits all the banana split and a nice barrel.

Apparently aged in ex-KBBS barrels, hence the double B in BBanana. They probably aren't allowed to put the brand of KBBS on the labels though, but here you are and now you know !
Pours muddy brown ( dark amber ) , smell is meadlike honey, clearly banana as well. Taste is thick, banana creamyness, bit chocolate. intense, thick, sticky. It works, in a way, but as I feared, banana + mead just don't really work for me. This is probably a very deviding beverage ( love or hate ) and i seem to be torn between the 2 sides. i like the mead and it's quality, and the 'blend' of flavors does work, yet my mind struggles with banana in this context...
