Clear reddish amber beer, creamy irregular light beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, bit malty, bit metallic, some caramel, fruity touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, lots of caramel, bit sugary, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: malty, pretty bitter, some banana, caramel, actually not as bad as I had feared (or should I say, hoped?) :p
