Feb 27, 2008 Dark pour, but not black. Nice tan head to start, but it quickly diminished. Not much flavor to this if cold, but as it warms, more and more flavor comes out. Didn’t notice a bitter taste at all - maybe I’m immune. Slight taste of banana and molasses, smell of toffee, but oddly didn’t notice it. Great Ale.

Feb 21, 2008 Bottle at home. Dark brown colour. Nice head. Roasty caramel aroma. Toffee and chocolate flavour. Nice and dark, buttery and smooth. But also fruity, including bananas, and prickly. With a bitter aftertaste. Enjoyable.

Feb 18, 2008 500ml bottle, BB 30 APR 08...in date for a change! Deep brown body, dense tan collar. Earthy aroma, some mollasses and wood, bread and dark fruit, oddly enticing. Quite richly bodied, carbonation is low, has a syrup texture that is somehow suiting. Big malt presence, some roasted, some nuts, some toffee, brown sugar, all balanced with rum-like oak nuances and banana bread, with still more tropical fruits seemlingly lingering as it warms. Deeply complex, intriguing and satisfying. A very nice treat!

Feb 17, 2008 Bottle. Dark ruby color with a thick, frothy, mostly diminishing off-white head. Caramel, dark bread, and yeasty aroma. Bready, slightly fruity flavor, a touch of toffee, and a nutty bitter finish. Medium to full body with a bit of a juiciness to it.

Feb 6, 2008 [WBA Styles Tasting] Dark amber/brown color. Estery, fruit aroma almost like juicy fruit gum. Some slight banana, raisin and prune. Low bitterness. Almost wine-like, with some slight oxidation present. Drying finish. Very good.
