COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This year’s winter warmer is complemented by cocoa nibs and Mexican Chocolate, while the German wheat beer yeast strain lends banana-rama goodness. Old Saint Chongo, patron saint of our monkey friends, requested this beer himself.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20

popery (1133) - San Francisco, California, USA - APR 13, 2013

Pours murky and brown. Small head. I’m normally pretty easy on appearance but this one is sorta ugly. Looks thick. Smells sweet with molasses, caramel, dough, milk chocolate, but there’s also a funny medicinal note that I’m not enjoying. Taste is quite sweet in a cough syrup like way. Lots of that band aid flavor in the finish. Kind of a gummy, syrupy feel. I’m just not a fan of this beer. The flavor combination doesn’t work for me. It needs some sort of a balancing note at the very least. An unusual miss from bear republic.

boFNjackson (3629) - Portland, Oregon, USA - DEC 4, 2011

Tap @ Holiday Ale Fest... Poured dark brown with a thin head. Lots of cocoa and yeast spices. Cloves, and a little bit drying. Some fruitiness too. Evan a natural hint of herbalness with some strong banana yeast flavors.
