Jul 11, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark dirty red with not much head. The aroma was sweet dried fruit. The flavor had hints of yeast, banana, spice and sweet fruits. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this beer.

Jul 2, 2008 Poured from 22oz bottle a dark reddish-brown with a thin tan head and little carbonation. Aromas of sweet candy, raisins, toffee, banana, and yeast. Flavor is over-ripe banana, bubblegum, some spicey clove, plus somewhat of an alcohol vapor that turns a bit astringent at the end. Palate is rather dry given the sweet aroma and has a spicy tingle that dominates throughout. This beer was OK, but I was hoping for more. It seems a little bland for a double. There needs to be more depth to it IMHO.

Jun 30, 2008 22oz’er from BTB in Vancouver, WA--Poured a dark rich brown-chestnut body with a healthy medium-sized off-white head. Yeasty, banana-clove, brown sugar, chocolate, dark fruit, slightly metallic nose. Sweet plums and raisins lingers on the tongue. Spicy and carmelly. Quite unique yet somewhat familiar. Very nice with chocolate.

May 30, 2008 pours a dark red/brown with a small short-lived tan head. Aroma is massive red fruit. Plum especially. Lots of sweet malt aroma with a little astringency which seems out of place.
Flavor is more of the same. Big sweet malt, plum, prune, a bit of grape, but then that little weird kick at the end. Not alcohol, just something a bit off. Not entirely pleasant. Oxidation? Decent, not great.

May 21, 2008 Bomber. Pours a dark red body with a medium white head. The aroma is full of spices and dark fruit. The taste is fairly dry, with tons of cloves, some sweet rich malts, a touch of yeast, and a bunch of bananas. Quite fruity and spicy. Pretty good. The alcohol is very light and it’s easy to drink. Nice.

May 12, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with little to no head. The nose is sweet. A little fig, banana and a syrupy note on the back. Flavor is okay with a definite overtone of licorice on the palate. Finishes a little hot.
