Endelig Mi2 igjen, og etter et sterkt felt av fatøl som lå tett i tett på oppløpssiden er vi nå over i vektklasse 3 for boks/flaske. Vi har altså forlatt lettølsegmentet (alt under 10 vitamineneheter), og stemningen i panelet er sterkt oppadgående. Viskøs utskjenking fra 0,44-enheter. Nesten helt svart med ok skum. Mørke banansjokolader og ferskbrygget kaffe, mørke dessertchokoklader og litt bærsyre. Slett ikke så søt og kleimet som fryktet, men uten den essensielle mersmaken..

440ml can. Stingy roasty, ashy and earthy with some hints of sweet banana and syrup. Unbalanced.

Medium body, oily, sweet, boozy. Dark chocolate, candy banana, coffee roast, a bit astringent. Quite a dry finish. Another one with candy pastry notes on a dry roasty is, mixed feelings. Not bad.

Can, 04.03.2022. Black color with beige head. Aroma is bananas af, chocolate sauce, intense. Taste is again bananas & chocolate, so much of it. Thick viscous mouthfeel, low carbonation. Better than expected, but pretty damn pastry.

Does pretty much what it says on the can. Sparkly sligthly chunky banana. Weird.

Can. Black as engine oil, almost the same consistency too especially at the end when you pour the banana sediment. Definitely chocolatey banana nose, that's a unique aroma, bit like Bananas Foster. The flavor is: too much black/chocolate malt, a bit of soy, weird mouthfeel due to the (pureed) banana sediment. It's... interesting, but I just don't want to drink more.
