Well, the banana comes from the hefeweizen yeast and I don't taste the strawberry, so right away it's a winner. Otherwise, the hefeweizen yeast is odd in a stout, but leaves lots of body, and there's some decent chocolate notes. The name, thank god, is an inaccurate description of the beer.

Big and boozy, with lots of coffee, brown sugar. Has a boozy finish, too, though there's also a lot of figs, chocolate and other complex malt accents. Good, solid, impy.

Fairly dank, weedy, sulphur hop aroma. Malty on the palate, lots of hop and ultimately that sweetness doesn't translate to body or balanced. The malts are its undoing.

Pinkish and hazy. Just a thin head. Tart. with lots of fresh raspberry. Good for the (rather dated) style.

Dull but peachy looking beer. Peach beer made with peaches just looks dull, you know. Has a very fresh, enticing peach nose. Clean mellow tartness combines well with the natural peach character.

Draught. Has a light body and medium bitterness. Lots of fresh strata, though it isn't coming across as balanced - the malts sort of drop out in the end and strata's not my favourite hop to begin with.

Crowler. Pours hazy (not bright, of course), with a thick head. A bit dullish. The aroma is pretty bright, however, with tangerine and tropical fruits. On the palate, it's got quite a bit more body than the bright strata, medium bitterness, and a fair bit of those same fruit hop aromatics. Solid - quite a bit better than the strata that followed it.

Soft fresh strawberry aroma, has cloudy pinkish orange body that's quite nice to the eye. Flavour is tart strawberry, straight ahead. Mouthfeel is full with good tannins and nice tartness. This is very good, the fruitiness is properly balanced.

Great dank hop aroma, has cloudy orange body with soft foam. Flavour is great resin notes, dank hops, delivering as promised. Oiliness is excellent. This is working very well.

Good sweet grape aroma, plum notes, other berries shining through. Has a milky dark pink body with good foam. Flavour is bright berry and tart sweetness, working well. Mouthfeel is full with lingering sugar but in a nice way. This is very charming.
