Oct 17, 2007 Tap 5-12-07. Black with tan head. Huge banana and chocolate up front. light roast. Flavor much the same, just enough banana, with huge milk chocolate and faint roast. Sort of a dry cocoa finish. Creamy body/mouthfeel. Well done.

Jun 9, 2007 Black pour with a 1 finger off-white head. Lots of real banana flavor, not the kind of estery banana flavor. Some vanilla and cocoa with a dry finish. Medium-thin creamy body.

May 30, 2007 Black body with creamy tan head. The aroma is milk chocolate and lots of real, ripe bananas. The flavor is ripe bananas, caramel and chocolate. Medium body with a very soft, creamy texture and light carbonation.

Apr 28, 2007 On draft @ Kuhnhenn. Pours black with creamy tan head. Banana aroma with sweeter malts in the back. Interesting. Big banana hit up front. Then creamy roasted, burnt and hints of chocolate malts follow up behind. Then in the finish the banana ends up on top of the flavor. A bit too much banana.

Mar 3, 2007 Tap. Pours the wierdest murky yellowish brown color, with a yellow highlighted brown head. Looks like chocolate milk, for real. Aroma is green banana, rosted malts. Flavor is green banana, chocolate malts, some coffee like notes. Palate is full bodied, mildly carbonated, creamy, semi-sweet finsh. Huge points for creativity and execution, because this could’ve been a train wreck.

Dec 8, 2005 Tap. Dark brown/black with a foamy, light chocolate colored head. It goes without saying that banana dominated the aroma, but there was some chocolatey malt there too. Very creamy, smooth moutfeel. A pleasant beer to drink. Sweet, mellow banana taste. Reminds me of a candy from childhood, but I can’t recall the name.
