wj94 (64), Virginia, USA Mar 17, 2008 Pours dark, cloudy brown with 1-finger head. Aroma of banana, clove, spices, nutmeg - typical of the style, but very well done here. Well balanced sweetness, a little warming alcohol on the finish. Highly drinkable, could easily down 3-4 of these. One of the best Troegs beers I’ve had. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Mar 17, 2008 Pours a muddy brown orange. Hazy with a lasting velvety head. Aroma is strongly fruity, with notes of banana, clove, bubble gum, wheat, caramel malts. The flavor is closely related with lots of sweet malt combining with banana, clove, and bubble gum. Finishes with a nice wheat crisp/tart effect. Slightly warming. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Mar 15, 2008 Shared, thanks to dickinsonbeer. Brown-orange-amber pour (my color perception abilities suffer after drinking a lot i guess). Aroma is lightly tart, spices and bubblegum. Flavor is bubblegum sweet, grainy malt, light roast, and general tartness. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 13, 2008 Thanks to mj/acrdz/mikejames for this fine brew! Pour is dark brownish/purple with a big beigh head. Aroma is big banannas, spice and clove. Sweet, slightly bitter and warm alcohol...nice combo! Palate is full and creamy. Nice, easy drinking beer.
