Had this one toward the end of the night. Thanks to dchmela. Sweet like candy sugar and fruit. Alcohol is present but not overpowering, especially considering the ABV. This was very cool.

Bottle from secret santa. Thanks! The aroma on this one is that of bananas flambé or 99 Bananas Liquor. It is essentially nail polish remover and sweet banana. The pour is a murky reddish orange with no head at all. The flavor is bananas, sweet malt, sugars, and alcohol. Relatively low carbonation and a lingering alcoholic burn rounds out the finish. This was just too much for me, glad I attempted to share this with the old lady.

Had this on tap at 3 Floyds in Munster, IN. Oh man this is a big one - a Belgian sextuple? Really? Pours dark reddish-brown with minimal head. Looks like syrup. Aroma of lots of bananas, bubble gum, sweet sweet malt, and yeast. Flavor has lots of dark fruity notes as well as banana, extremely sweet malt, and minor hop bitterness. A solid Belgian STRONG ale but a little over the top. Will knock you out like it had a roofie in it.

Aaah, strange sixtuple from wj94. Pours a deep red brown with no head. Big sweet candy banana yeast and earthy hop aroma. Sweet Belgian yeast, malty and lots of hops taste with hints of clove. Tasty weirdness nonetheless.

Odd brew -- got the sweet banana yeast off of this one with also bubblegum and cocoa. Flavor is booze, chocolate malt, honey, booze, syrup, and booze. Whew!

Very unusual. Bubblegum aroma, alcohol, sweet and fruity. Orange with an off white head. Flavors of bubblegum and theater candy and alcohol. Malty backbone. Syrupy and rich on the palate. Strong flavored and heavy.

Sextuple? Is that a double triple? Trancendent beer. I cannot get information from anywhere about future batches. Still have 7-8 bottles, but have to hoard them until I get more information.

22oz bottle. Poured a murky brown with almost no head. Aroma is of dark fruit, caramel, malt, yeast, and spice. This one seems to have mellowed immensely. It doesn’t have overpowering booze in the aroma anymore. Taste is of malt, spice, yeast, dark fruit, caramel, and of course alcohol. Thick, sticky mouthfeel. This one made me a little woozy with the alcohol content.
