Bananas Foster Stout

This “desert” stout by Untitled Art and Neon Raptor Brewing is very interesting. This is not typically a beer that I would even bother with, however Mrs. Bacchanalian wanted to try this one so here I am. The color is like thick, muddy water in the glass. Not a very appealing look. The aromas are powerful though with banana, cinnamon and vanilla very up front on the nose. The mouthfeel is very thick. I am assuming that is coming from the banana puree. The flavors are mostly banana with some of the cinnamon and vanilla there as well. I feel that it would have been a better beer at a lower alcohol level. For me, I am just liking the flavor as the alcohol burn kicks in and spoils the flavors. This would have been a different beer for me if it were say 5% ABV instead of 8%. It is not a bad beer, but it is not a beer I would go for again.
