Wife wanted a Bananas Foster stout, so I began with a base that I believed would work well. I used some brown sugar in the boil and also a touch of WB-06 yeast and I ended up with a tasty, slightly banana-sweet base beer to build up with dessert adjuncts. The batch size is 1.25 gallons. I had a dram of Lorann Banana Creme flavoring and 1 oz of Almond extract as well as some banana flavored rum (half a shooter) that all of the above I poured into secondary. The aroma is explosive - but the flavor comes across moderately antiseptic with zero sweetness.
I'm wondering if throwing some banana peels into the secondary bucket would be my ticket here, or if that's even safe to risk due to contamination.
Thanks!
