Bottle from Bevmo! in Greenbrae. The beer pours a dark reddish-brown color with a medium thick beige head that recedes steadily. Strong banana aroma with notes of caramel malt and yeast behind it. Medium to full body with flavors of bananas and dark fruit primarily, plus bready malt, yeast and spices. The finish is fruity with a lingering dark malt aftertaste. Good beer through and through.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of daknole. Thanks again for tracking this down! Cloudy, dark brown body with a brown head. Very nice, banana, clove, dark wheat, slightly roasty malty, banana bread nose. Pretty toasty dark wheat malty flavor with a bit of a twang, fairly strong banana, yeasty flavor with more of the banana and some bitterness on the finish. A little chewy, a little sticky mouth feel. Dark wheat, yeasty aftertaste. Awesome!

750ml bottle pours a hazy, burnt brown with a thin, cloudy off white head. Nose is very estery, banana, cloves, a little earthy, malty, overripe fruit. Flavor is malty, bananas, cloves, a little booze, rum. Full bodied, sweet finish. Good example of the style.

Dark brown with a lasting tan head. Aroma of banana and other exotic fruits with notes of caramel and milk chocolate. Sweet fruity flavour, almost winegum-like with dark caramel notes.

Courtesy of markwise. 750mL pours murky brown with tan head. The aroma is rich and pulsing with prunes and blueberries as well as lesser notes of brown sugar and a touch of spicy yeastiness. The taste is velvety smooth and rich with notes of prunes, blueberries and a thin layer of boysenberry preserves with faint amounts of yeasty spices softly lining the rim of the flavor experience. It ends as smooth as it began with dark fruity richness and pillowy goodness.

750 ml bottle a gift from footbalm! Thanks Eric! My rating #3000! Nose of rich ripe bananas, clovey, cinnamon wheat bread, vanilla hints, and yeasty goodness. Really rich and fruity. Hazy brown with a medium, glassing, beige head. Flavor is light banana cake, hints of toffee, and hazelnuts, and lots of caramel. Excellent (see scores) Wish I had gone down and gotten a case of bottles!

The bottle looks very, very good. Beer in the glass dark brown with a little bit red. Starts strong, not too yeasty and dry, fruity notes of plums are dominating. Warming malty. Finish well balanced, still warming, not alcoholic. A great beer!
