Pour is a black with a very small tan head. Aroma is banana right off the bat, some sweet chocolate malt follows. Flavor is more of a cinnamon and vanilla and the banana in the aroma is kind of left out. Decent spiced stout that is a bit less sweet then I thought it was going to be. I wish this had more banana in the flavor though.

Draft taster pour at the brewery. Appearance is very dark brown with no discernible sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is banana, bubble gum, cinnamon and brown sugar. Taste is strong banana and bubble gum, more moderate cinnamon and brown sugar. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, there's not a lot of complexity to the base stout and the flavor is pretty moderate so their adjuncts tend to dominate, which is no exception here. The banana aroma/taste is strong but had a bubble-gum quality to it that was a little odd.
