A long journey to obtain this 16 oz can, perseverance from Terry at Mr. T's. Kudos, sir. So, a combination of bananas and a quadrupel, should be something interesting since I like both. This tasting will be honored with my favored Trappistes Rochefort glass, time to open the can and make the pour. The body is an unusual-for-the-style amber/red and is followed by a skim of light tan foam along with a healthy carbonation keeping things charged up. I smell an indication of bananas and also toffee and a bit of yeastiness. A drink now, well, it was worth the wait. Figs, bananas certainly, caramel, bread, cane sugar, leather and malt. It improves as it warms up, fuller and a touch less sweet. The alcohol is well covered up but let's see when the can is finished. A departure from your basic quad but worth it.
