Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong banana candy with coconut, notes of bourbon, dark malt, chocolate banana candy, vanilla. Flavour is sweet with a moderate bitterness, some alcohol. Body is medium. I love coconut in my Stout but banana candy not so much, that being said this is far more enjoyable than I expected.

Tight thin head quickly left a coca cola looking body. Coconut aroma. Medium bodied, fine carbonation & cloying. Coconut, vanilla & malt tastes. A bit overpowering..

Sample at Daily Growler Powell. Brown-black pour with a medium thick beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of banana, bourbon and malt. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, banana, chocolate malt and vanilla. The finish is sweet with a boozy banana liqueur aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Bottled 09/07/18. Banana candy! Those incredibly synthtic foam ones. Coconut is there, but relatively minor. Very sweet. Thin, no bourbon to be found, both of which disappoint me a lot. Lots of fun, fairly tasty even, but glad I could share it.

Bottle @ home. Holland's bier from the US. Almost black colour. Light brown head with little retention. Aroma's: big banana and coconut with some sweet chocolate, and when waltzing the glass there's a slight boozy aroma. Retronasal: banana (a bit artificial), sweetness, cocos, light boozy. The bourbon comes in the flavour, sweet, banana, light alcohol. Medium bodied. Long finish.

Sampled from the tap at Happy Gnome. Pours black with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is coconut and dark grains with a touch of banana and roasted malts backing. Flavor has a bit of a candied coconut and sweet banana supported by roasted malts and dark grains. A bit of sunscreen.
