Jul 21, 2007 Bottle. This is one of those beers that you see on so many shelves and never get around to trying. Well at last I have tried it and what a pleasant experience it was. Dark and inviting and poured without a head.Plenty of body and pleasantly malty.Quite a full body without being overpowering. excellent-why did I wait so long?

Jul 20, 2007 500ml Bottle - poured a nice dark deep red with decent head retention. Fruity nose, sweet toffee/banana flavour that really makes it unique. Nice liquorish finish. Excellent ale.

Jul 18, 2007 Bottle - Pours a light brown - dark amber color with a thin tan head. Small nose of sweet fruit, roasted coffee, can’t really smell the banana, though. Surprisingly light bodied, with very low carbonation. Slight fruit sweetness and very slight bitterness at aftertaste, with a very subtle alcoholic presence. I faintly taste the licorice when I read what others said here. Altogether not a bad beer, but I was however, expecting a little more impressive and intense flavor. (EDIT:) I just read MelbBrewers_JD who said it should be enjoyed semi-warm - might re-rate this as I have a 6 pack.

Jul 10, 2007 Blackish ruby red with a frothy tan head which slowly dies away. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Not a bitter beer but neither is it overly sweet. Roasted, Fruity, vinous, with traces of banana. licorice and just a touch of alcohol showing through. Long, slightly sweet, finish. A very pleasant beer.

Jun 30, 2007 Updated: Jan 6, 2008Decent. Tastes like a sweet porter. Does not have much hop character at all. Malty and sweet, with a slightly bitter finish.
