Bananas Foster Milk Stout
4 Hands Brewing Co.

L: Very dark brown, almost black with a dark tan head, maybe a bit to be desired on the head and lacing.
S: Overly ripe banana, almond extract, cocoa and malt. I really enjoy the smell. It's strong but pleasant.
T: Artificial banana hard candy hits hard up front, maybe too much. But that gives way to banana bread, almond, sweetened condensed milk, some spices (maybe cinnamon) and malt.
F: Heavy, but not as oily as some stouts can be. Goes down pretty easily for a stout. Not too carbonated.
O: Interesting. Not bad. Maybe fun once in a while. But I wouldn't recommend it to many people.

It might go well in a vanilla, chocolate or banana milkshake...

 

 

 

 

Black in color with just a faint amount of light seeping through when held up to light. There's a fingernail of brown around the rim. The aroma is very rich and sweet with banana, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, brown sugar, and lactose. This is packed with flavor and very rich and decadent. This might be better suited to 12 ounce bottles as 22 is an undertaking considering how sweet it is. I'm tasting cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, lactose, and banana with an undercurrent of chocolate. The mouth is heavily spiced and busy, yet somehow fairly smooth.

 

 

Poured black with tan foam and shades. Smelled strongly of banana and cinnamon, with cocoa, caramel and sweet bread. Taste was thinner, with cinnamon, banana, and booze dominating, with chocolate, toffee and sweet bread supporting. Body is thin, fluffy and somewhat coarse. Has potential but falls apart a bit as you go down the glass

 

 

On tap. Poured a jet-black color with a small, tan head of long-lasting foam. It smelled of banana, chocolate and some caramel. It tasted like a good deal of banana, sweet chocolate and toffee.
