Jun 22, 2008 12 oz, bb July 2008. Nearly opaque copper-chestnut with a three finger head that lasts and laces well. Aroma is spicy wheat, clove, banana-raisin bread, slight bubblegum and alcohol. Thankfully, the flavor has all the same components, plus toasted nut and slight chocolate. Medium-heavy body is smooth with some tongue tingle, and nice dryness on the finish. Cheers and well done, Rodney!

Jun 20, 2008 This pours a dark cloudy reddish brown with dark brown and even some darker stretches along the sides of the glass, has a good size off-white and tan head that recedes a bit, there is some creamy tan lacing left on the glass, big ripe banana and unsweetened dried fruit aromas, along with some dark malt and bread, a little bit of pepper, I got a faint phenol smoke fragrance here and there, flavor of dark bread, dark fruit and dark sugar sweetness, I could feel just a touch of the alcohol warmth on the palate, has a good full mouth feel, a very good tasty wheat beer, S.A. should market this as a regular offering.

Jun 18, 2008 Strong and sweet - Lots of pepper and other small spices. Big sweet malt base with a lot of belgian esters and yeasty components. Bananas play second fiddle to what is a very strong pepper component with a lot of belgian candy sugar sweetness. Slight wheat maltiness. Really nice drink overall, suprisingly good.

Jun 18, 2008 In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. Pours a cloudy light brown. Ecru head. This little treat has lots of big esters. The bananas are HUGE in this. Lots of fruity dark raisins in the flavor. I really like this a lot.

Jun 18, 2008 Poured from bottle to glass. 2 finger head of a nice tan color. A very sweet malty aroma. A excellent brew.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle to glass. A large frothy head that is light-brown in color and most diminishing stand a top a cloudy chocalatey brown brew. Moderate malt aroma mixed with light hoppiness gives way to citrus and a strong banana scent. Stronger malt flavor and more banana tease the tongue while the average finish is dry and alcoholic. Good, but I couldn’t drink more than one in a sitting. Very full.

Jun 13, 2008 THOUGHTS: A really nice beer. Seems like a ramped up Dunkelweiss. I wouldn’t mind seeing this as a year round offering from someone.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a medium to dark brown with great carbonation and an average-sized, creamy, off-white head that kept a nice sheet and left excellent lacing. The aroma was light to moderate milk chocolate malt, light to moderate yeast, wheat, spices and a hint of banana. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and moderately acidic; while the finish was moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter and sour with a short to average duration. There was wheat, chocolate, some spice and maybe a hint of banana. The medium body was creamy with lightly fizzy carbonation and a light astringent finish.
