What Our Editors Thought
“Banana, yes, but a light herbal freshness in the aroma. Sweet with the expected fruit in the sip, moderate barrel notes, and a surging chocolate bitterness in the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The first sniff opens with dark chocolate followed by a hint of banana peel, which comes across as if you added banana to your dessert and poured on chocolaty goodness. Flavors are balanced with just a touch of a rye-spice character.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in rye barrels. Conditioned on wild Thai bananas. Notes of caramel and banana bread.”
