Default Sweet smell

OK so my silly Scotch ale clone is fermenting and the basement smells great

It is like a sweet banana smell coming from the airlock.. I havent had one smell this way before and wondering if that is a bad sign, or telling me this beer is going to taste great (the amount of extract and grains and sugar gauruntees it won't be less filling)
The yeast is a 1084 Irish Ale

Nottingham yeast does that. Not a problem.
