| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pour was a rich amber color with a creamy tan head. Aromas of spiced fruit, bubble gum and bananas. Flavors really open up as the beer warms with clove, cherry, plum and banana up front and a slight finish of citrus, pepper, and pine. Nice American version of a Belgium classic. CanIHave4Beers (863), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Pours a nice deep brown with a thick head that goes away but leaves a nice lace. The Aroma is nice a little spicy with some brown sugar notes. Flavor is different largely sweet with some spicy clove flavors and a pronounced fruitiness with some plum and mild banana. There is some cotton candy sweetness that sort of gets in the way of the greatness of this, but it’s generally a very nice little beer. curly (575), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2009 Pours clear dark brown with a red tinge to it with a thick tan head that looks quite creamy. There is a good amount of constant aroma release due to the secondary yeast addition. Fruit and sweet tart aroma with a clove-like spice. Banana fruitiness which is sweet and bitter at the same time. Toffee aftertaste lingers. Beer laces well. Thanks Butters. GJF (498), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
