Pours brown color with a tan head. Aroma is pretty strong of the chocolate malts and dark fruits. Light roasted malts with some caramel as well. Flavor is full of choclate with some roasted and caramel malts. Light sweetness, from the banana perhaps, not much of a lingering flavor.

Sep 6, 2009 Pours a dark red-brown with a minimal head. Aroma of chocolate along with some banana. Flavor matches the aroma with a very smooth finish. Decent.

Jun 2, 2009 Bottled. Mahogany colour, small head. Rich chocolatey banana aroma. Medium sweet with near full body. Wonderfully soft with rich, deep flavour of chocolate and banana. Lovely combination of roastiness and esters. One of the best weizenbocks anywhere!

May 14, 2009 I was down in Hiroshima traveling around and stumbled into apparently its only beer bar, where I met the Miyoshi Becken brewer. He was in town for the Flower Festival and said there was going to be a booth at the festival with six breweries, each serving two beers. What luck! He said I had to try his chocolate banana. I ignored the sexual innuendos and assumed he was talking about his awesome new Spring seasonal. Sure enough the next day, I got to try this sumptuous dark brown brew. Massive banana split exudes from the nose. I just imagined being at Dairy Queen when I was a kid and digging in. Likewise I dug into this brew, but this was much better than what I remember Dairy Queen ever serving. Big malty mouth, bananas and chocolate jump everywhere. Perfectly balanced, moderately sweet. Goes down without the head freeze icecream can give you and leaves a slight warming finish. Perfectly executed and right on style. Beautiful. I think I will phone Dairy Queens management and get them to start serving this to parents that come in. It would be a sure fire hit on their menu.
