Can pour into nonic pint glass from The Beer Store, Nashua. Appearance is clear dark brown/red with tons of sparkle, 2-finger width, light brown, foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is vanilla and banana over roasted malt backbone. Taste is restrained banana, mild vanilla, toffee with mild roast quality. Palate is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, I thought I'd get even more banana and vanilla from both the aroma and taste. Still tasty but a little disappointing.
