Naka (426), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 11, 2008 A dark brown opaque color with a creamy beige head that lasts pretty well. The aroma is some spicy banana, a little black cherry, and alcohol. The flavor is a nice balance of clove and bitterness with some toffee in there as well. Some roasty notes, but overall, has mostly a sweet banana yeasty malt. Quality creamy mouthfeel.
Beerman6686 (780), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 29, 2008 Poured a reddish brown color with an off white head. Aroma was sweetness, lots of spice and alcohol. Flavor was malty and some nice clove spice, but not nearly enough to cover up the overbearing alcohol presence hopdog (4649), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured a deep copperish / brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Lots of floaters. Aromas of bananas, cloves, and some black pepper. Tastes of bananas, the same cloves and peppers, and wheat. Alcohol content well hidden. kiefdog (476), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 6, 2008 22oz bottle opened at the Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown red with a one finger off white head. Good head retention. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, dark ripe fruit, raisins. Flavor is similar to aroma with some clove, banana, and bread. Light to medium body with a slightly bitter, hoppy finish. darkguardian (194), Florida, USA Jul 17, 2008 22oz bottle from Coffee District. Awesome smelling nose, tons of clove, wheat and bannana. Nice coffee colored pour with a tick beige head. Taste it falls down quite a bit. There is to much bitterness and its a bit metallic, a weizen should be much breadier and smoother than this, the banana doesn’t come through at all except just a wisp in the finish, no clove taste. Disappointing after a good set up. dpjuart (572), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 11, 2008 Draft at Coney. Pours brown with amber hues and a creamy, light khaki head. Banana and caramel nose with slight apple sweetness and clove spice. Taste is spicy, banana with wheaty yumminess. Nice sweet after. Tasty.
