Bottle. Golden-brown, with a thin, bubbly head. The aroma is banana, some bubblegum. Sweet, fruity, touch of chocolate but mostly banana and light phenols.. I guess a simple example...phenols and too clean on other elements.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Dark amber color, clean, with creamy head. The aroma is mild, banana bread, toffee. Lean mouthfeel; very light residual sweetness, caramel base, cloying esters from some weird yeast strain, fudge, bubblegum, banana; a bit more caramelized in the final. The alcohol is also too evident, and in the final there is a sharp metallic and stale feeling.
Not good.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy dark amber bronze with a fairly large foamy beige head. Aroma brings out heaps of banana, followed by clove, toasted nuts and some earthiness. Flavour is super intrusive on the banana - I'm not sure I've ever had a beer more dominated by banana than this. Secondary notes of earth and toasted nuts, but the bananas drown everything else out. There is a bit of a medicinal character to this as well. Not a fan of this at all.
