Bottle: Dark brown pour with a decent off white head. Dark fruits on both aroma and flavor, some spicyness. Mildly bitter. Not great, but not awful. I’m glad I didn’t buy the bottle though.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark dirty red with not much head. The aroma was sweet dried fruit. The flavor had hints of yeast, banana, spice and sweet fruits. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this beer.

Jul 2, 2008 Poured from 22oz bottle a dark reddish-brown with a thin tan head and little carbonation. Aromas of sweet candy, raisins, toffee, banana, and yeast. Flavor is over-ripe banana, bubblegum, some spicey clove, plus somewhat of an alcohol vapor that turns a bit astringent at the end. Palate is rather dry given the sweet aroma and has a spicy tingle that dominates throughout. This beer was OK, but I was hoping for more. It seems a little bland for a double. There needs to be more depth to it IMHO.

Jun 30, 2008 22oz’er from BTB in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark rich brown-chestnut body with a healthy medium-sized off-white head. Yeasty, banana-clove, brown sugar, chocolate, dark fruit, slightly metallic nose. Sweet plums and raisins lingers on the tongue. Spicy and carmelly. Quite unique yet somewhat familiar. Very nice with chocolate.
