Oct 20, 2005 Pours dark brown with ruby hues and a massive foamy tan head. Aroma of figs, clove, dark fruit, and apples. Taste is spicy, bready, and yeasty. Finishes on a sweet clove note. Quite mellow for the alcohol content. Very fruity.

Oct 10, 2005 Updated: Jan 23, 2008Brown pour with a large head into my new Corsendonk Xmas Ale glass. So it’s’ the wrong glass style - sue me. Banana aroma. Caramel and chocolate hints there as well. Caramel really comes through in the flavor. Enjoyable but lacks complexity.

Sep 28, 2005 Bottle: Strong banana, moderate apple, and light yeast aromas. Pours a dark brown with some orange hilights along the outside edges of the glass. Nice off-white head with great retention. Up front flavors of apple, banana, and light caramel. Finishes with some yeastiness and a light lemony tartness.

Sep 23, 2005 0.5l bottle. Brownish, with a huge tan head. Clovey slightly banana-like aroma. Malty flavors, rich. Slightly clove-like. Smooth. Slightly tart. Malt lingers in the finish. Munich malt notes are strong.

Aug 7, 2005 Thanks to Tom Baker at heavyweight for this one. Pours a deep amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is similar to aventinus but not nearly as intense. Good amount of banana, fusel alcohols, and some pheonics like clove, but also has that traditional fruity and deep malt backbone. Flavor was a bit of a let-down. Not very complex- bland and watered down a bit. Mouthfeel was also light for the style especially compared to schneider.

Aug 7, 2005 08.06.05 500ml bottle. Dark caramel color. Subdued banana and rice crispy treat aroma, not much spice, if any. Bit tart, but refreshing, mildly effy. Roasty. Hard beer to figure out.

Aug 4, 2005 Remarkably tart. Think that this was provided by the yeast and if perhaps something was beginning to go awry, it was doing so in a beautiful manner. I didn’t get the banana esters and such that I might have expected, but the malt was fine and I trly enjoyed this. Rasins for sure. Maybe it was/is me that’s off kilter, but not a lot I can do about that. And I absolutely love the label art.
