Jan 14, 2009 Bottle thanks to McBackus. Pours a dark reddish brown with almost no head. Sweet malt, banana and clove in the aroma. Taste is malty sweet with a nice balance of fruit, pepper spice and clove. A very unique tasting beer and very good.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to goldtwins. This was a case where I drank this beer with no expectations or knowledge, hell, I thought it was a Belgian after a few tastes. What a surprise. Pours a very cloudy and particulate filled brown color with a small head. The aroma is mostly spices and some fruit. The taste was awesome; fruity, spicy, loads of malt and not too sweet or spicy. Excellent. Very fruity and extremely cloudy. A excellent brew.

Jan 6, 2009 Pours mahogany with a thin tan head. Smells of clove, bananas, sweet wheat. Tastes sweet and well balanced with a nice spicy element on the finish.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle thanks to lb4lb. Pours cloudy dark amber with a light off white head. The bananas and clove come through with the white wheat, but with lovely bits of malty-ness.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle, thanks hopdog! Pours cloudy dark amber with an off-white head that descends to a ring of foam. Fruit and spice aroma with a hint of bubblegum. (Got a cold at the moment and my sniffer isn’t currently up to par, so there may be tons of other stuff lurking in the aroma and taste.) Medium body and fine carbonation. Sweet and chewy fruit and caramel taste with a soft clove-spiced finish with a dash of banana. All in all, this is one tasty beer even with a cold.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle thanks to jtrockchalk on BA. Pour is very hazy, dark amber with a short lived off white head. Aroma of huge banana, tons of clove and other spice. Flavor is much of the same with clove, all-spice, less banana and very well hidden alcohol. Medium body with a lot of lingering sweetness. Overall the spice was a little much for me.
