On tap at brewery:
Pours a dark brown with a lovely finger and a half of tan head in a snifter. The beer does fall to pedestrian with a thin ring and only a little lacing.

Nose has classic banana and bread - though a dark bread. There’s a tang than I assume is from the yeast. Chocolate and some light earthy baking spice also is noted.

The initial tastes were similar to a chocolate covered banana. Getting into it the chocolate fades a bit and I get a little vanilla. The banana and tang consistently take the end of the taste. A lingering chocolate brownie taste stays light on the tongue.

Feel is medium light, though the flavors lean a bit bolder. An interesting beer that doesn’t stray completely away from the main style. The chocolate seems to hide it early, but it comes out in the end.

 

 

Had on tap. Pours murky, dark brown in color with minimal head. Taste is banana, dark wheat, pumpernickel and vanilla. Sweet, wheaty, heavy bodied with moderate carbonation. Makes for a tasty and well done, not traditional example of the style.

 

Poured a brown body with minimal head. The aroma has hints of sweetness like chocolate and yeast along with notes of bananas. Smooth, medium body, bubblegum sweet yeast strain with hint of chocolate and vanilla (doesn't really come through) and then has some banana notes and clove/spice finish.

 

At the brewpub in Rehoboth DE. Almost black opaque dark brown withe minimal tan head. Floral liquorice, slightly smokey molasses, overipe banana, and vanilla coffee. Full bodied. Delightful.
