On tap at Hopmonk. Murky brown with a two finger eggshell head that lasted the duration of the glass. Aroma was full of ripe bananas and buttery notes, which made the bananas seem even sweeter. Light spicy clove and lemon finished up the aroma. Flavor added some sweet caramel notes, and again, plenty of buttery bananas to go around. Minimal bitterness noted. Medium body with light carbonation. Not too bad, but nothing amazing, either.
