Rusty to ruby tunt to the dark brown body, with a good head fur a higher ABV brew. Nose brings the chocolate bitters and hazelnuts, individually. But when taken as a whole, the impression of banana bread grabbed everyone who was sharing our bottle. The bitters I think bring a bit of spice that gives the breakfast bread impression (no idea where the banana cones from).

Taste is a little more bourbon barrel and chocolate bitters to me, with the red to brown malt profile running underneath. The chocolate bitters dominate the middle into the end, with hazelnuts sneaking in the back.
