Mar 14, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
Down on the list as Snuffy Jacks Old Ale with an abv of 5.9%. Mahogany red / brown with a very slight off white rim. Fruity aroma with some dark chocolate malt and slight earthy notes. Flavour is pretty much exactly the same. I really like the earthy peaty character. Tangy malt finish eventually settling on some chocolate. Pretty good stuff.

Dec 9, 2007 Updated: Feb 23, 2008Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol, 9/12/07. Another hard to classify Arbor beer - as it’s based on Slumberjack, porter seems closest. This was almost black with a slight red tinge and a slight tan head, that left plenty of lacing. The aroma was of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and prunes. The flavour started with some sweet chocolate before cloves and roasted notes kicked in with a long dry finish. The addition of port was evident through the vinous mouth feel. A very enjoyable Christmas beer. Outside of the Christmas period this is known as "Snuffy Jack’s Winter Ale".
