3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 rangerred (204) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - FEB 8, 2012
330ml bottle poured into a goblet.
Appearance is a hazy dark brown with a huge rocky off-white head. The head lasts forever and clings to the sides of the glass.
Smells of banana, caramel and toffee along with a certain yeastiness that is hard to describe. Smells Belgian
Flavors of banana nut bread along with some light caramel. There is some breadiness along with dark fruits such as raisin and fig. Also a slight metallic note. Mouthfeel is full-bodied and sticky with alcohol being barely detectable.
Overall a decent beer although I have to admit that this is not one of my favorite styles. I feel this is a respectable representation, though.
