May 8, 2002 Updated: Jul 11, 2003Re-rate: Several recent samplings of this have shown that I didn't know a damn thing last time I had this. Wonderful clove and chocolate covered bananas soaked in alcohol. Sweet with occasional bits of bubblegum and a bit of yeast. Thick and wonderful. Something I plan to continue to drink regularly, especially as a nice summer beer. 5/8/2002 3.7: Certainly can't ignore the malty taste. Nice color to go with the flavor. Certainly worth the try.

Jun 4, 2007 Bottle served in its very own Aventinus glass. Pours a red raisin-brown with a tall beige head, I have to let it fade down to pour the rest. Aroma of bananas, clove, dough, and yeast. The flavors are clean at first, banana and clove, until I get all of that yeast in there. Then a much creamier smoother banana, toffee, chocolate full bodied from the wheat. Tasty beer.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle from Cracked Kettle, @ home. This is something different. Hazy brownish colour, nice head.Smell of banana, alchohol, liquorice, some dark fruits. Taste is liquorice, malts, candy sugar, dark fruits, a bit sour. Prickling finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Not my taste but it does stand out.

Jun 5, 2005 Dark brown and opaque from my yeast-including pour, with a nice foamy head that receded to a thick cover and lasted. Strong, spicy clove and banana cream pie aroma with loads of sweet malt--wow! The flavour is a continuation of the so inviting aroma: spicy clove phenolics with black pepper juxtaposed with sweet, malty banana esters. A little bitterness and a bit sweet, but not cloyingly so. Medium to full body and highly carbonated. Packed with flavour!

Jan 4, 2006 Pours a dark murky brown color with an extremely thickish white head. Aroma is full of fresh yeast and sweet spices, primarily nutmeg,wheat,cloves and bananas. Taste is a carbonated mix of slightly sweet spices, including nutmeg with hints of cloves,wheat, banana and bread dough. Excellent !!

Aug 14, 2009 Had side by side with the Eisbock... slightly lighter in color than the Eis. Aroma is clove and dusty/champagne with fruit esters and bubblegum. Flavor is strangely inviting, like a deep hefe with hints of Belgian Ale... YUM!

Apr 6, 2008 Bottle. Aroma primarily candi fruits with hints of caramel and spices. Flavor brings out more spiciness, including a distinct BBQ edge for me. As the body warms, more and more complex wheat flavor comes out, truly solidifying this brew as world class. I’ll be picking up a few more of these at my first opportunity. Excellent.
