Nov 25, 2002 The guy at the liquor store warned me that this was like no beer I’d had before, and he was right! This stuff smells DELICIOUS. Smells malty and toffeesque. The taste is somewhat of a letdown after the inviting aroma, but it’s still very good. Solid malty taste with a bit of a creamy aspect. The ’banana notes’ were there, but I don’t know if I’d have picked them out w/o being apprised of them.

Apr 30, 2005 12 oz bottle, Cleveland Alefest: Dark brown, mohogany, w/ a lasting off white/cream colored head. Very buttery & yeasty at the start. Mild chocolate & roasty notes w/ a some sherry to show the age... Very little dark fruit character. Well balanced overall, but sweet up front. Diacetyl in the flavor as well, w/ some sherry. English yeast w/ some moderate roasty notes. Finish is malty and buttery throughout. Low carbonation, medium body, and well hidden 7% alcohol. Overall a very good beer, minus the diacetyl notes that are at times overwhelming.

Feb 12, 2003 Very hard beer to find but if you do you are in for a treat! It's a dark reddish brown with a nice head. Has a smokey malt flavor and is slightly sweet. Doesn't have the most complex flavor. It's not the greatest beer in the world but it's very enjoyable.
