Beautiful clarity in this reddish-gold honey colored brew. A small white head fades quickly and there is little lacing.

Huge banana, clove and honey aroma.

Oh, this is nice on the palate -- *if* you like swwet. It's spicy right up front, with a ton of banana and honey flavor, some clove, some booze. But for strength, the booze is nicely hidden. Hops provide enough bitterness to keep the powerful sweetness of this brew in check. Very nice.

Somewhat heavy and creamy in the mouth. A bit slick from the ABV. Minimal carbonation.

The sweetness makes one enough; you might even wish you'd split it with someone. But it's very good, nonetheless. This will be an occasional treat to share with friends.
