Pours a hazy dark brown with lighter brown "highlights". Translucent rather than transparent. Obviously unfiltered, as it should be.
Smells of banana, clove, spice, dark fruit and alcohol.
Banana is the dominant flavor with alcohol and spice coming after. Maybe a little cinnamon contributing some sweetness as well.
Medium-thick mouthfeel , almost syrupy.
Not real drinkable because of the strong spice/alcohol flavors and at just over 7% ABV it's a little hot for drinking all night.
In the homebrew pack I got this out of, I actually prefer the Grape Pale Ale, the flavors were better developed. This is good and I could see why this is a winner, but it may be a little strong to really enjoy long term.
