Sweet, perfumed and warming aroma with banana and clove. Bready, tart and fruity flavor with figs and alcohol tartness. Better with sediment. Too much tart alcohol, I prefer the original.

Thylacine (237), Tasmania, Australia Jan 18, 2009 Bottle - Dark brown with loads of suspended sediment. Light tan head which soon dissipated. Low carbonation. Full bodied. The 12% alcohol is not at all overbearing and blends nicely the the sweet and intense flavours of dark fruits, wheat, and banana. Slightly spicy and just a hint of cloves. An awesome beer!
