May 4, 2007 Dark ruby in colour, average sized beige head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, caramel, light spice, dark fruits, some molasses. The flavour is quite malty, some noticable alcohol, earthy, wheaty, dark fruits. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, again some alcohol, mild sweetness. Not nearly as over the top as some of the other Avery beers, this one actually has some balance and is drinkable. Not bad.

Jun 21, 2006 Pours very dark brown with an attractive tan head. Aroma has heavy bananas, rich malt, bits of roastedness and decent bit of alcohol. Full bodied beer with soft carbonation. Thick malt taste that is quite roasty with dark banana flavor and no hiding of the alcohol here. The finish has some spice to it and some vinious qualities. The alcohol is just too prevalent throughout the whole experience to be very enjoyable to me. It seems like far too often raising the ABV takes higher priority than taste with Avery.

Nov 23, 2006 bottle - Pours dark brown with an aroma of malt, yeast, and banana. The flavor pretty well matches the aroma with some alcohol thrown in mainly in the finish. It goes down easy. This is a very tasty beer and worth trying.

Jan 17, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his recent tasting.
Pours a deep mahogany with a thin off-white head.
Rich malt aroma, some banana.
Sweet dark caramel overwhelms the flavor, but is good none the less.
Good, with a full bodied, smooth delivery and finish.

Dec 13, 2006 22oz. bottle. Interesting aroma, featuring a blend of milk chocolate, raisin, plum, spice and toffee, with lighter hints of clove, earthiness, pepper, vanilla, medicinal alcohol and a faint, almost smoky roastiness in the background. Deep, dark mahogany color, clear, with a subsiding, light tan head and intricate patterns of lacing. Flavor profile is a similar melange of dark, roasty, chocolate and toffeeish malts, old wood and wisps of smoke amidst lightly vaporous, peppery, musty, earthy, moderately bitter and estery undertones. Mouthfeel is warming, smooth, clean and finely carbonated with a rather full body. Perhaps not as finely rendered or as refined as some Old World examples, but possesses a certain amount of character and rough charm, so I did enjoy this.

Jul 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with a fizzy beige dome. Toasted malt, dark fruits and coffee dominate the nose while the finish is slightly bitter and tingles the palate.
