This was my "South Dakota" rating, taken at the GABF in 2003. The address of the brewery was then changed to that of the corporate office in Minnesota. Dark amber. Coriander, cloves, orange and lemon in the nose, but dominated by banana. A bit lacking of carbonation, but the big banana flavor and bread flavor is nice.

Sep 20, 2003 Color is a liquidy off purpley brown with a thin cream colored head thats foamy and fades to leave tiny spots of lace. Smell is a bit faint of sweetish type malts with some raisin and fig, yeast brings out a bit of candy-like notes of toffee and honey glaze. Taste is uneventful unevenness with bland character, weak malts, light raisin and dried fruits of grape and fig, far too sweet, uneven and unpleasant sour notes dart all over. Very light body for a abbey dupple, nearly watery feel and was just plain and boring. This needs alot of help.
