Gift from donfardz64. Pours a dark brown/amber hue, nice and cloudy. Complex aroma of wheat, caramelised banana and sweet malt. Dates and hints of toffee. A Strong, milk chocolate aroma engulfs the nose each time you go for a sip. A beautiful, balanced sweetness and rich, rich flavours. These rich and complex flavours begin with spice that, along with the carbonation and alcohol, warm the palate nicely. Through the spice (such as clove, cinnamon and allspice) comes immense toffee malt flavours, along with milk chocolate dancing with caramelised banana. Wheat and bubblegum and mild bitter hops are present. The alcohol is only moderately present, and seems to fix the flavours onto the palate. Has a creamy, smooth mouthfeel that’s perfectly suited to the flavours, and has a great, long lasting finish of toasted malt. Gorgeous!

Bottle (2004). Pours a clear, beautiful ruby, thick head from the medium to high carbonation. Aroma is fruity and hints of clove. Flavor is fruity, hints of vanilla and clove, mild spices (maybe some pepper). Very smooth. Alcohol gives a nice subtle warming sensation. This is an excellent beer.

Bouteille de 500 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Biere de couleur brune brumeuse avec un mince collet non collant. Odeur de sucre, pommes, clou de girofle, pelure de bananes et citron. Gout salé, sucre à glacé, épices et un semblant de gomme baloune et crémeuse.

The beer had a little to much fruit for me. Has a orange pour little noticeable nose. Raisin to the taste.

Bottle sample courtesy of Shawn. Pours a hazy orange brown with good off-white head. Nose is lightly spiced wheat and rum fruits. Tastes of raisin and wheat and alcohol on the finish. Pleasant alcohol warming effect.

Bottle. with Butters. Pours an off-white head with a burnt amber body. Smeels of wheat, alcohol, and spice. Tastes of wheat, banana, caramel, and alcohol. Pretty good finish on it as well.

Deep amber brown, spices and fruit in the nose. Tons of flavor...clove, slight banana, faint hint of chocolate. To me, a very sweet taste overall. Nice zing from the carbonation with an almost buttery mouth feel. Very good.
