Can. I mean, what the fuck is this going to taste like? I hate bananas and I almost never like peanut butter in beer. It's dark, but the head died almost instantly. I imagine there's too much oil in this, right? The aroma is about as much of a trainwreck as you'd expect - peanut butter and banana in there for sure, with chocolate, coffee. On the palate, it's salty. I notice that right away. Bacon or just a salted peanut butter, who knows. I can taste bacon and coffee/toast for sure. There's some banana sweetness to it, but this mixes with the other elements so it comes off as a caramelized banana. The peanut butter, thank Christ, is subdued under all this cacophony of elements.

In a sandwich, the three main flavour elements are all quite strong, and create a cacophonic dynamic that (in theory at least) makes sense. In an imperial stout, with the added chocolate and coffeeish roast elements, there's even more crazy swirling around. However, the brewers have clearly sought to strike a balance between all of the different elements, and they succeeded. Without that success, this would be a clusterfuck as viewed through a funhouse mirror.

But they brought it home, and as a result you have a coherent beer where the excesses of the concept are reined in, which honestly is like reining in a hungover hippopotamus with blue balls. So I like it better than I thought I would, because a couple of those elements aren't things I want in a beer, but altogether it's made quite well.

On tap (or bottle) at Birreri Volo. Pours translucent gold with thin white head. Aroma has barnyard funk, bugs, esters. Flavour is funky with bugs and straw; some estery berry sweetness. Great saison.

Can: Poured a slightly hazy pale yellow color ale with a medium size white foamy head with light retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light tart notes. Taste is a mix of light tropical flavors and citrusy hops notes with some light tart notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Interesting mix of flavors with some good overall drinkability.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy dirty yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some light tropical floral hops undertones. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some tropical juicy citrus hops notes and floral undertones and some residual sugar. Body is slightly below average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but lacks some cohesion.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a large white medium off-white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of funky Brett notes with some tart notes and light herbal notes. Taste is a mix of Brett notes with some funky ester and some herbal notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable wild ale with a good level of drinkability.
