BückDich (4559), Boise, Idaho, USA Dec 6, 2005 Dark mahogany chestnut color, no head, light ring of lacing. Nose of plum, fig, raisin, peanut, alcohol and spruce. The flavor is creamy with a sweet toasty, chewy body and a spicy fruit and herb background. Finish is dusty but steady and sweet, yum. Borderline too much herbs and spruce notes but keeps it down to an enjoyable level. JoeMcPhee (3815), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Dec 4, 2005 Tap at Brouwer’s Cafe. Deep brown beer with a thick off-white head. Nice sweet toasty chocolate aroma, light cooked banana esters. Toasty and chocolatey flavour, very creamy sweet body. Toffeeish, big banana flavour, some apple and other sweet fruits. Great malt complexity, easy to drink beer with a nice warming finish. bu11zeye (3780), Frisco, Texas, USA Jan 8, 2006 (Draught, Horse Brass Pub) Pours a deep mahogany with a moderate off-wite head. Aroma of banana, caramel, cloves, and dark fruits. Flavor of wheat, candy sugar, toastiness, and toffee. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jan 10, 2006 Medicinal bad-aid aroma mixed with cloves, musky leather wet cardboard and some sweet fruits, one of the most complex aromas I have ever had in a beer. Lighter on the palate with a disappointing mouthfeel and flavors. Very easy to drink though and tasty , just lighter than I was expecting. DA (2482), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Dec 13, 2005 On tap at concordia tap house. Pours very dark brown with a tall off-white head. Big ol banana/clove spicy nose. Flavor is a great blend of sweet fruits, caramel, chocolate, and spicy finish. Delicious beer that was very similar to adventinus. Walking man really makes some of the best beers in the NW, this is another example of incredible beers coming out of that brewery.
