Clear dark beige to black beer, creamy beige irregular head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: coffee, dark chocolate, some banana, dried fruits. MF: soft carbon, full body. Taste: quite some banana, caramel, dried fruits, alcohol, mocha, dark chocolate, little sour. Aftertaste: dried fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, red berries, little sweet, fudge, bit of overripe banana. Very nice beer!
