Draft @ Carlyle. Pretty darn good beer. A little thin bodied for my taste, but still pretty good. Loads of baking spices and some banana yeast. I would drink it again.

I had a glass of this on-tap on site. This pours a medium brown color with a foamy beige head. The aroma has hints of tart fruit and bananas. The taste is mostly of tart fruit, yeast, and hints of banana. The texture is quite smooth and rich in flavor. Finishes with a bit of a tart after taste but fairly decent. Obviously not up to par as Belgian Tripels, but not bad.

On tap at the brewery, pours an unclear dark golden with a thin white head, the aroma has a good amount of spice and banana, the flavor has a good amount of banana and spice on the front end with a sweet finish, the abv is tasted in the finish and it’s pretty hot, not bad though.
