Commercial Description:
Created by Rodney Kibzey, Illinois Rodney describes his wonderfully complex brew as "deep amber in color with a full creamy body and a dark fruit and clove aroma." This traditional Bavarian style brew took Rodney a few batches to perfect, but the taste is worth all of his hard work.

Pours a transparent dark bronze copper with a lightly-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and malted wheat with an authentic estery clove and banana character with German yeastiness. Starts fairly full with the right amount of carbonation and malty sweetness with some peppery clove spice and bready yeasty flavor before the slightly drier, crisp finish. Very true to style and enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium to deeper and cloudy brownish color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, wheaty, and I was getting some smoked meat in the background (took me a while to place it). Tastes of bananas, citrus, lighter spices, and some dark fruits.

Bottle: Thick muddy brown pour, very little head or lacing. Nose of clove and strong yeast esters, some bread and rye stuff going on as well. The flavor is sharp with esters, a dark banana fig sweetness coats the palate. Light hops, subtle roasty toasty notes. A bit low in carbonation for this much sugar and alcohol, it’s a bit hard to drink. Unbalanced almost. I like the intensity, but there must be a better way to bring cohesion to this chaos.
