mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 10, 2008 Bottle.
Dark copper body with a creamy white head. The aroma has some cherries, caramel, and light fluffy cocoa. Flavour is pretty watery with notes of light fruit and not much else. Weak body for the most part.
kopher (111), USA Aug 3, 2008 Pours a muddy brown, beige soapy head.
Subdued banana-bread aroma.
Very good mouthfeel, nice balance of carbonation and thickened wheat-y-ness.
Very mild flavor, some citrus and bread, a little nutmeg, but somewhat watery.
This is not quite there, but definitely enjoyable. MoritzF (3690), Ruhrpott, Germany Jul 31, 2008 (bottle) Cloudy, murky brown colour with a massive and slightly tanned foamy head, leaving lace-work. Sweet and yeasty-fruity (blackcurrant, prunes, banana) aroma with wheat- and dark malt, chocolate and light clovy spice. Sweet and slightly sourish flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Wheaty and shy toasty taste with berries and banana; sweet and banana-fruity finish. A tad too sweet for my liking (24.07.08). JoeinUccle (651), Brussels, Belgium Jul 27, 2008 Bottled. Pours thickly cloudy root-beer-float brown, fading beige pillowy head. Mild nose of ripe, caramelized bananas. Lightly sweet, bready flavor with caramel, hint of brown sugar, touch of sourdough. Tangy finish. Maybe blander than necessary. Still pretty nice. ScoWRee (212), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 19, 2008 Pours a merky amber color with a huge tan foamy head. Aroma of yeast and banana. Taste is thin. A hint of spice maybe clove. Not much here. rocbyter (604), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Jul 15, 2008 Smells of yeast that is past its prime. Cloudy light brown color with a large almond head. Moderately sweet in the beginning and fading in the finish. Mild tang in the end.
