Bottle. #621/1020. Aroma is a great mix of banana and spice that gives a “banana bread” essence. Flavor still shows a strong amount of Willett and banana. Willett is of course spicy. Alcohol shows light in the finish. I like it but again the Willett spice dominate.

500mL bottled 9/2/24, #621/1020, drunk 7/25/25.
Dark, not much head, probably clear.
I'm getting soft, rich vanilla. Maybe an afterthought of banana and light bourbon. What a trip. Not intense Willett? Not a noseful of banana? Not boozey. Does gain fruity banana as it warms, but it's tempered.
Soft, fruity, juicy, spicy with Willett adding spice and sweetness. Lots of vanilla with tasteful banana. Light chocolate, hint of ash and lingering acidity. Banana seems to lighten the body somewhat, but it's still soft and deep enough. No alcohol. Interesting and really well-done. More of a vanilla stout with a banana afterthought, but that's fine with me.
