Bottle. A couple years aged. Nose of chocolate, caramel, raisins, prunes, touch of banana. Light vanilla. Definitely feels aged. Black with lace, almost flat. Flavor is sweet and tangy, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, raisins, grape juice, no bananas left. Silky, slick body. Very light carbonation. Ah, there are the bananas in the finish. Just a bit. This is a lot of fun. Some bitterness in the finish too. If you told me it was a quad, I would have believed it. No roasted flavor at all.

no head light brown color. Big banana character with chocolate in the backbone. Thick body, low carbonation, fairly sweet, nice chocolate and banana character. Not overly complex but for 12% alcohol well hidden. Enjoyable beer for sure
