Notes

OG: 1.040
FG: 1.010
ABV: 3.8% (possibly cocked up the OG though, this is definately stronger)
3 sliced bananas caramelised in soft brown sugar added to fermentor during primary.

Bottle date: 28/11/17

First taste was 2 weeks (exactly) after bottling. Still needs to carb up a bit but all together very nice beer. Sweet and has subtle banana flavours in there too. Vanilla and rum are fairly hard to pick out though. Tad too dark so ease up on the chocolate malt next time. Double the adjuncts.
