Aug 23, 2008 GTMW 08 - This was a wonderful alt. Pours bronze with a tan head. The aroma had such a fullness to it with malty caramel, toffee and a ton of richness without being cloying. Medium / full body with smoothness and extra gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with dark malt, banana, dark brown sugar and lots of smoothness. The finish linger around with earthy spicy dryness and caramel. I wish I could get more on this one.

Absolutely beautiful attempt of the style.
Banana, sweet spice, crisp, clean hops and finish. Earthy and nutty, and well hopped too.
This is quite good.

Aug 11, 2008 Just had this at the GTMW this weekend and i guess they’re bringing it back. Pour is a dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma was of dark malts and seom candi sugar. Flavor has some caramel and nuts with a bit of wood smoke. A good attempt at this style.

Feb 6, 2006 Thanks to hopdog for this...
Appears a light, hazy amber with a small white head and little bits of scattered lacing around the glass.
Smell is of light sour apples and hops with light amounts of caramel malt coming through.
Taste is of the same aromas
Mouthfeel is slightly sour with some nutty malt trying to balance it out. Not a typical alt, IMO but not a bad beer.

Mar 9, 2005 Tap: which by the looks of it didn’t work out as well as the bottle. Dark mahogany color with whispy film for a head. Every category was lacking. Almost astringent/metallic tatse to it.
