0,5 l bottle from Systembolaget. Dark red beer, thin, but lasting head. Aroma: banana, clove, spices, caramell and sweet malt. You’ll find all the aromas in the taste plus extra malt sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel. No taste of alcohol what so ever. Great beer.

Pours a sewerage mucky brown. Aroma huge belgium yeast banana sweet note and cheese soy notes. Taste is has a licorice root beer belgium yeast note followed with some barnyard funk and vanilla and banana notes also a sirloin steak note. Medium mouth feel wet finish. At over 12% abv is completely hidden. Extremly complex difficult beer to dissect. Extraordinary brew!

On tap at the Bräuhaus. Dark, hazy brown pour. Huge creamy head with plenty of lacing. Malty, bready aroma with a hint of banana. Big banana taste with a nice toast note. Sweet finish but not cloying. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Had if from both keg and bottle and I like keg version more. Taste is complex with little sourness - raisins, caramel, banana, etc. World classic.

Hanuta06 (142) - Washington, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Serving: from bottle--purchased at Allendörfer. Aroma: lightly yeasty-soapy aroma. Appearance: large, rocky, off-white, initial head with fair lacing and mostly lasting longevity. Hazy, dark-amber to light-brown body. Taste: moderately sweet, caramel malty initial flavor and heavily to harshly sweet finish with long duration. Palate: medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation and alcholic finsih feel. Overall: Yuk. Aroma didn’t pique my interest, but appearance was great and made up for the aroma. Then it was time to taste . . . and yuk. This stuff was too sweet for me. I wouldn’t drink it again.

jeremyh70 (344) - Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Pours a hazy hazelnut brown with two fingers of tan head and decent lacing. Aroma of sweet fruit such as banana and apple with clove spiciness and a nice wheat and yeast smell. Taste follows nose with banana, tart apples and quite a bit of clove. A hint of brown sugar and the wheat comes through. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied with medium/high carbonation. Very pleasant, semi sweet and easy drinking. The higher ABV is hidden well.

Bottle. Dark brown with a thick light brown foam. Aroma is strong with banana laced with chocolaty dark syrup. Taste is sweetish and has ripe banana cocoa and a malty note to it. Bit too alcoholic on the aftertaste.
