22 oz. bottle. A wonderfully murky mahogany pour with a big tan head on top. The wheaty aroma of a hefeweizen with all the typical banana and clove smells along with some peanut butter cups and vanilla beans. Medium to thin-bodied. Starts with some caramel, chocolate and vanilla flavors and finishes with some light wheatiness and bananas. There’s an underlying sour/tanginess throughout that distracts from all the quality tastes.

Oct 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle on 10/7/2008. Hazy mahogany pour, large, yellowish tan head that collapses quickly to a 1/8" layer that leave a sheeting lace. Caramel, fruit esters, spice waft from the glass. Tastes of burned caramel, some wheaty tanginess, and a peppery bitterness at the finish. Medium body, lively carbonation, smooth , some stickiness. Seemed a little harsh to me, needs a little more rounded malt character for better balance. Still, quite drinkable and not too bad.

Oct 6, 2008 Very malty/fruity flavor. I am trying to pinpoint the aroma, it is not very pungent, but I can smell the dark fruits and malts. Decent aroma. The it not a hop smell at all. I think I almost smell a banana-type aroma. The beer really has no head. At first, it did, but it faded away rather quickly Dark caramel brown in color. It is opaque. Kind of a toasted malt/fruit flavor. Toffee notes are in the beer. The beer is semi-creamy. The beer has some nice flavors. The toffee comes out a lot more when the beer warms up. Overall, a fairly good beer with some nice toasted and toffee flavors. A fairly fruity/malty aroma. Pretty decent brew.
