Mar 22, 2008 I didn’t have high expectations going into this beer, but it was actually surprisingly good. Pours cloudy dark brown with a thin off white head. Aroma of bananas and clove. The flavor is very sweet caramel malt and some sugar. The banana and cloves stands out nicely. Very rich, creamy mouthfeel. Well done though, congrats to Rodney for winning.

Jun 27, 2008 Mmm, one look and smell of this one and I was immediately reminded how much I love this style. Dark orange with a thick creamy head, a head with nice retention. The aroma is apples, dried plums, something spicy and sour. The palate is unbelievably smooth and creamy with bananas very prominent. Also graham crackers and hops pushing through is a bit unusual but it works. An outstanding effort. Too bad this one gets retired soon.

Feb 28, 2008 this ber is pretty damn good. Dark, sweet and fruity. Smells like bananas - finishes the same. A nice brew. Sam Adams has a hit with this ’long shot’ deal.
