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.

Cask at GBBF08. Hazy dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Cardamum flavour, I think, definitely some cookie spice. Not bad.
