Can, looks like rootbeer with no head. Maybe some banana on the nose barely; mostly a strong roasted porter smell. First taste really lacks the banana aspect, its just a stronger baltic porter. Yea, fer sher you can tell this is near 7%, fees like more if you ask me. All these sweet babies I had; hey zues, fluffer nut, pumpkin, chai and java - they all taste the same. I guess that's what they want. You got something that sells well, go to it, ride the wave and make 24 of the same thing with different names; just like that stupid ass voodoo ranger of their competitor. Out of all these sweet baby varieties, I disliked this one and the pumpkin one the least. This version leaves you with a somewhat unpleasant burnt character that lasts for a while on the finish.

Black with large light brown head. Banana, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Moderately sweet banana, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Good body.

Near black pour. Smells of roast malt, peanuts, and chocolate. Sweet flavor. Peanuts, roast malt, and chocolate. Bananas? Maybe? I expected banana to be more prominent given the name of the beer. It’s a tasty enough beer.

12 ounce can from Wine Shop Charleston, 5/6/23. Near black, large brown head, good retention. Aroma of strong peanut butter, roast, sweet banana. Taste is roast, chocolate, peanut butter, mild banana. Slick, almost jammy. A little disjointed. Decent.

I mean, it’s an artificially flavored chocolate peanut butter banana porter, so…
