A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
Cloudy dark red brown. Sweet sweet coffee and malt with some fairly obvious diacetyl. Roasted coffee notes are nice but the buttery character spoils it.

Jun 24, 2008 Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.
Clear medium brown color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, creamy caramel, chocolate, notes of peat. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (030508)

May 18, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Raven, Bath 18/5/08. Near black with a slight white head. Aroma had the standard Arbor nose of roast malt, with some dark fruit and bitter chocolate. Flavour was roasty in the main, with a savoury edge and a bitter finish. A good modern version of a mild.

May 16, 2008 [cask at Reading beer festival] Rich smokey coffee notes, a beer to slowly savour as the aroma gradually fills your mouth and nose. Would have been my favourite beer at the festival were it not for the incredible Brewdog Edge!
