Can shared by Steve (13.5%). Opaque, inky black, thin cap of head, nice viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is well balanced strong rum, coconut, roasted malt, Maraschino/dark cherry. Taste is well balanced rich roasted malt, rum, coconut, cherry. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Alcohol is totally hidden. Rum is present but well balanced.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of chocolate milk, cherries, roast, wet stone, vanilla. Pours inky black with a half finger tan head with decent retention. Taste is lightly to moderately sweet with a firmly bitter backbone. Flavors of the adjuncts. The cherry is pretty subdued but becomes a little more prominent as it warms up.

Martin House in Ft. Worth is an interesting brewery, generates a wide spectrum of beers in many styles and some are world class. Back in the RB days there were a couple of people in the DFW area that generated a lot of reviews on Martin House beers along with myself. They did not come over. So now when I find a new MH beer, I am prepared to be the only one to rate it. Only two other Brewver raters in Texas from what I can determine, maybe three, this is a sad state of affairs. I move along now. 12 oz can found at the only real local beer shop and it was priced quite reasonably. Sometimes you win. A globe glass is waiting for the pour and so I do. I view a really dark brown liquid sporting a thin head of tan foam that quickly departs to just a ring around the glass. I take a sniff and I think it is good and also not so good. Dark chocolate, vanilla, grain and a perplexing metal entry. Rest easy, the taste is significantly better than the nose. Scorched toast, malt, chocolate, marshmallows, a hint of bananas and no bacon to be found anywhere. Considerably sweet but not horribly so. Decent enough, I have had many from the brewery that are better.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a large white head that quickly foamed away. Aroma is pear and pineapple. Med body. Fruity and tart/sour in a way that's not destructive, but strong. Flavor is pineapple and pear with some orange that I could be imaging. Tasty.

Holy shit this is crazy stuff. Dark brown pour. The most the intense banana I’ve encountered. Nose is all banana bread. Tatses of chocolate, banana, bready, sugar bourbon. This is crazy intense. Happy to have tried but can’t finish but still i like, is that weird?

Canned 3/14/25, shared by Jow on 8/28/25.
Clear? Dark. Small, light tan head.
Vanilla, banana, light bourbon or whiskey. That's authentic banana. It's creamy, sweet and well-done. Soft and mild, well-aged on the end.
Soft, sweet, lightly toasty and chocolatey. Fudge, vanilla, sweet banana. Oaky and banana dominated. Good bitterness and such but yeah, at five months the banana should be a bit less dominant. Not boozey or syrupy but it's very banana bready.

Nice raspberry but a bit too tart & sour to enjoy.
