Gravity Cask @ Royal Oak Beer Festival 2006, Fritham (New Forest). Pale malty flavours. Some nuttiness and tart berries. The tart fruit becomes a bit much.

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a foamy-bubbly, white head. Smells like dirty leather. Lightly sweet wth more dirt, leather, wet earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faint cocoa to finish with more wet leather, faint fruits and dirt. Not too good.

Cask at the Four Chestnuts, Chichester. Deep ruby red with fine beige crema, roasty malt nose, dry palate with hints of tart fruit and coffee, then a dry bitter choc finish.
