Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a hazy gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has sweet grains with a good amount of banana esters with a touch of clove and other light fruits. Flavor is similar with sweet grains throughout and some light banana esters and just a touch of Belgian yeast.

750mL bottle, courtesy of newcigarz, pours murky amber with a copper hue and a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sugary sweet brown sugar coated raisins, spicy black licorice, prunes and a curry spice note that is unexpected. The taste is similar with sweet maltiness, a bit of roasted malts, raisins, prunes and dried apricot. It then flows into a mild tannin like tartness and an Indian dish curry spice note. Very interesting indeed with its curry like influence. Not sure I’ve had something like this before.
