Draft. Amber color, scant head. Aroma of slightly sour caramel. Taste starts sweet and boozy, then an odd sour/bitter combo. Mediocre

Standard but solid. Strong banana and some bubblegum. Need to cone back to this one.

I smell banana! Tastes like marischino cherry and a banana. Slight bitterness. Good.

Poured a reddish cooper color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma has caramel and cherries. Taste is slightly creamy. Cherries and wheat. Slightly tart with sweetness too. Kinda weird flavors.

5/27/09 notes: on tap at DuClaw Fell’s Point. Aroma is the most banana-ey I have ever sniffed in a beer. There is also some clove and nutmeg that deepen the smell. Flavor is also banana-like sweetness, a bold blend that flirts with becoming cloying, but in my opinion manages to stay on the right side of the line. The finish lingers impressively, imparting close to no alcohol bitterness.

Its got a lot of nice spice--very present banana and cloves. Sweet body, but the problem is the sweetness is a bit unbalanced, and lasts to long. Its annoying after a while, but I appreciate the spices.

Draft at Bowie location. A hazy amber/mahogany with a small tan head by the time it got to my table. The aroma is of ripe bananas, caramel, cloves, cinnamon, and hints of vanilla extract. Medium-bodied. Ample maltiness with lots of caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla extract upfront. A wheaty end with ripe bananas and cloves. Some warming alcohol is present. Excellent balance throughout. Very nice.
