Bottle at Bruce’s, London - massive thanks to Jack for importing this beer by hand. Pours clear, deep brown with a fine, light beige foam head. Aroma carries some artificial banana, hints of peanuts, mild fake and dusty cocoa. Light to medium sweet flavor, lots of medicinal sugars, some burnt toast, artificial banana and chocolate. Light to medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Some dryness to finish, toasty sugars, burnt bread, chalky cocoa, dried bananas. Pretty scattered and not altogether good. Some herbal notes. Very hard to find any redeeming qualities here.

While I give credit its idea and attempt to make this beer, its falls flat because of the way the beer has a lousy end with a semi strong begin. flavors of banana, and peanuts are decent. the beer then falls flat with a watery/club soda taste that is unpleasant.

The aroma is definitely like a chocolate, peanut butter, and banana doughnut but very little in the way of a beer. The appearance is reddish brown with a medium head. The taste is sweet and bitter with little in the way of the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s unique and worth a try but not very good.

Bottle shared by me at 5K/10K/4K tasting. Pours dark brown with off white head. Nose and taste of gas station chocolate, cheap banana candy, aspirin and some peanut shells. Lighter than medium body.

Bottle to pint glass Banana and chocolate are prevalent with a little peanut butter, but unfortunately it has an artificialness to it. Other notes are coffee, sweetgrass, and lemon. The appearance is a reddish brown with a nice creamy tan head. The taste is a bit sour with chocolate, banana, and strawberry. It's not horrible, but that artificial flavouring aroma gets me every time I take a swig.

Bottle at James’s 4k/5k/10k tasting. Pours a deep brown with a thin beige head. Doesn’t smell all that bad, sweet banana and a bit of chocolate. Medium bodied, sweet, chocolate, weird fake banana, sort of like cocoa covered banana runts. Cocoa. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about. So mom, if you’re reading this, stop.

Bottle share. Poured a watery looking brown with thick head. Smelled like an old banana split scratch and sniff sticker. Tasted bad, not balanced, watery, gross.

It’s interesting and I’m glad I tried it, but not worth a second visit, especially for the price. Pours cola-colored, and the aroma was promising enough - mostly chocolate. Flavor was chocolate with only hints of the banana and peanut butter in the name; I think those flavors developed slightly as it warmed. Taste is somewhat artificial. Pretty thin bodied.

Pours a cola color with a moderate thin tan head. Aroma is of roasted peanuts, cocoa, sweet artificial banana. Taste is chocolate, earthy roasted peanuts, mild artificial banana sweetness, lingering chocolate. Interesting.

Tallahassee, Fl - World Market - 22 oz bomber. Dark brown pour, sticky off-white head that sticks around a while - sticky lacing. Aroma has some topsoil notes, a hint of unsweetened chocolate. Interesting flavor to say the least. Some artificial banana flavor, some generic peanut butter, a hint of baker’s unsweetened chocolate and a back end of potting soil. Mouthfeel is thick enough. This one will most likely get raked over the coals by most folks on here - but I halfway liked it. A bit overpriced - but a fun novelty.
