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.

Cask @ Market Porter with Magic Dave6 and Mes. Also one of the beers that i really enjoyed. Dark brown color with a thin beige head. Very smooth and tasty. Coffee,Toffee, biscuits,chocolate and a distinct Baileys hint. Lovely finish, I wish I could have this on a regular basis.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2008 A 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.
