Dec 19, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Very dark red brown with a small beige head. Faint coffee and liquorice aroma, developing sweetness. Sour ashy taste and a mid bitter finish. Pretty good.

Sep 30, 2008 Updated: Dec 14, 2008A Sim rate (gravicask at Hop Farm Fest): Rosemary and pine aroma. It’s not only winter, but it’s summer too! Hoppy, fresh. Delightful. Hoppy flavour but too bitter. Slight spice. Three point two. ***ReRateMesRate*** Mahogany black with a thin tan head. Like a milk stout with a hint of liquorice and I agree completely with Alex, a hint of Baileys. good biscuity malt base and a lovely bitter chocolate finish.

Sep 21, 2008 Cask gravity at SIBA BF, Paddock Wood. Very dark brown with thin beige head. Attractive old ale aroma. I’d say it’s an old ale style, bit of sourness on excellent smooth herb and dark choc. Lots of herby hop on finish. It’s awesome, such a lovely old ale. Espresso coffee and bitter choc.

Dec 12, 2004 Gravity, Evening Star Brighton. Mine was marked Festive Ale but the ABV is identical. Almost positive this is the same beer: Light cara aroma. Amber in appearance. Biscuity with some light apple notes. Medium bodied. Interesting.
