I went a couple years ago in coutryside Rwanda, where locals brought me to a place where I could have some homemade banana wine, or "Urwagwa" (not sure about the spelling!). That place was someone's house with a few people hanging out and drinking, the wine was served in already-opened glass bottles.
For those curious, it is not very boozy (maybe around 7%-10% abv), but very yeasty - to a point where it kinda numbed my mouth. For those curious the yeast is the dominant flavor, followed by banana. Very earthy taste.
Later on I saw Urwagwa sold in a can at the airport, it was very different, no yeast but bitterness instead. I preferred the homemade one.
