Sweet aroma with bananas and yeast dominating, but also some booze in the background. Smooth and creamy to start. Plenty of fruity flavors including pears and apples and bananas. There is also a definite cotton candy flavor that persists throughout. The yeast also provides a prominent and unique flavor.
Now the 10% alcohol is noticeable, but it's not dominating or in any way bothersome. Rather it complements and actually accentuates the fruity and yeasty flavors, while also providing a subtle warmth. Spicy cloves on the back side round out the flavor profile. A little flat, nice chewy body, velvety texture, on the too sweet side but not quite there. Light yeast is left behind at the end. Definitely an enjoyable beer that you should try when you can!

I would have bought this just for the label! Awesome :)
Creative artwork isn't something that Holy Mackerel is lacking. :)
