Can poured to a dimpled mug at Special Brews. Dark, somewhat dense orange appearance. Rocky foam head. Cool, almost minty constant here, with the amount of banana, clove, amd floral content. Some spices linger late on the palate, with a gingerbread like note. Unique brew, with lots going on. Interesting, and enjoyable.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish coffee brown with a finger of beige head that lingers. Banana, clove and bread dominate the nose. Similar on the palate with more clove and a touch of pepper towards the end. ABV hidden well. Nice beer.

Bottle picked up from the brewery and consumed at home Saturday 19th March 2022 listening to Black Country New Road - Ants from up There, about to cook Georgian Kebabs, Argentinian Grilled Eggplant and a Fig, Goats Cheese and Honey Salad. Pours mid brown with a white head. Refreshing but aside from this there is very little to comment on. Ok.

Backlog December 2008. Reddish brown body under a big off-white head. Aroma is malty with some dry fruit and hint of alcohol. Taste is dark malt, caramel, a bit fruity and not much sweetness. Medium body and dry aftertaste.

Can pour from The Beer Store, Nashua. It's a cloudy, maple-syrup brown with tons of sparkle, finger-width beige foamy head with decent retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is very strong banana, mild tart fruit element and light roast. Taste is strong banana, bubble gum and roast, brown bread. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, been a while since I've had the style. Why don't I have this more often, or is this just a really appealing one? I like it.
