Skinnyviking (2590), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 17, 2008 Cask. Low fluffy and quickly disappearing yellow head. Hazy dark brown body. Honey raisin caramel aroma and flavor. Sweet. Low carbonation, long aftertaste. harrisoni (5106), Ashford, Kent, England Aug 11, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Winner of the weirdest beer of the day. Cloudy dark brown with thin beige head. Bit of banana. What’s it supposed to be? A dunkel weisse? A bit of raspberry. Definite banana. It’s a dunkel weisse. Crazy, but really interesting.
