| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 7, 2005 Deep brown with flashes of red and a small head. Aromas of spicy fruits, bananas and yeast come through pretty strong. Soft malty base with a sugary sweetness and a complex fruit flavor. Quick, clean, roasted finish leaves a good taste behind. Seems to be slightly thin and more fizzy than usual for a dubbel, otherwise really good. Padron4KM (405), Chandler, Arizona, USA

Medium body creates a nice transport for more banana and plum. The body has a nice depth, soft carbonation, fruit yeastiness and somewhat roasty finish. Really good! shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA

Quite possibly NBB’s most consistent beer in terms of flavor from purchase to purchase. Slight cloudy brown color and wonderful banana/clove/bubblegum flavor. Nice smooth mouthfeel makes this easy drinking for such a flavorful beer. jeffin7 (610), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
