A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
A fiarly light shade of brown for a mild with a thin white head. Good chocolate malty notes, bitter and roasty with slight notes of caramel. A little dull but nice enough.

Mar 31, 2007 Gravity fed half pint at the London Drinker Beer Festival, dark brown, ruby tinted, with a large bubbly tan head. A strong roasted malt aroma. A light and smooth palate with a touch of sweetness and a gravelly finish. Found the flavour a little on the bland side though.
