Muddy dark brown colour with slightly tan head. Aroma is a bit phenolic (bubblegum). The flavour is very sweet, with a milk chocolate flavour and floral overtones. Soft, fairly full body. Reminds of malted milk. A unique example.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions in Portland. Dark brown color with a decent multifinger light tan head. Aroma is acetic honey? Medium body with creamy carbonation. It’s tart. Dark roasted grain, a bit chalky. Banana now & then. Finishes dry and clean. Dark chocolate notes. Seeems to be spicy hop as well, or perhaps light clove.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22oz bottle acquired in trade with Larry Pitonka (thanks!). Poured a deep brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of wheat (like a wet wheatiness), roast, earthy, trace of bananas, and clove. Tastes of wheat, lighter roast, chocolate, light bananas, and cloves. Light tart finish. I like the way the bananas and cloves were not in your face.

Tap at GCBF. Dark ruby-brown beer, thin white head. Light peach, plum, banana, toast, and wheaty spice. Bready amd doughy tasting. Flavour also shows nice banana esters, light toast, chewy malts and sweet caramel. Full-bodied and well executed.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle thanks to 5000: Pours a hazy dark copper mahogany with a thin-lacing spotty off-white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity dark caramel malts and peppery clove character with good German yeastiness. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with a buttery lightly tart character before the toasty finish. Somewhat true to style, but needs some refinement.
