Default Tall banana, any ideas what it is? (pictures)

I frequently drive by this person's house and have been admiring their banana plant for a few years now. It finally bloomed and I had the guts to park in front of their house and snap a few pictures. Yes, most people would think I'm a robber, a weirdo, trying to collect on an insurance claim or something like that....what is the likelihood that I'm there just to admire their plant?

Last winter, most of the leaves on this plant got fried and turned brown when it hit 30F (unlike my american goldfinger, hehe). Now, why would I want to know what variety this is? Simple answer that many a musaphiles either have experienced or would do as well:I'm trying to determine whether or not to knock on their door with a pup of a different, proven variety in hand to work out a trade

Photos taken 10/18/16, looks a lot like the real Ice Cream, but that's really a wild guess. Unfortunately, these are the best pics I could get:




This thing probably has 15' of p-stem on it:
