Fair amount of DMS, charred oak, gamey meat, leather, green chili nose. Black, thin tan head. Charcoal, grilled jalapeno, canned vegetables. Medium body, easy carbonation, prickly heat. Dumpster fire indeed. I've had worse though. I like the concept.

Can (3/4/21) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's an opaque black with no sparkle, finger-width light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong brown banana, roasted earthy malt, hazelnuts (could be pecan) and milder vanilla. Taste follows aroma though less roasted malt. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with sticky texture, moderate esophageal alcohol warmth, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, all the adjuncts are represented even if banana dominates. Roasted malt lost in the flavor. A nice dessert sipper (and I hope a good prelude to a red-eye flight!).
