On gravity at the Tuckers Maltings Beer festival, Newton Abbot 23/04/10. Dark copper in colour with no head. Malty aroma with some plum fruit. Flavour had bready malts, dark fruit and a hint of roastiness, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

[Gravity cask at Chippenham Beer Festival 2009] I’ve been getting quite excited by stouts and porters of late, to the extent that I’ve been wondering about updating my favourite beer style. As a result, at the Chippenham beer festival it was the stouts and porters I hit first, which were unconvincing. Returning to milds, I was reminded of how great this style is - my doubts are over, milds reamin as my favourite style! This one is slightly smokey with a hint of coffee and a bit of toffee. Finishes with sweet malts and goes down a treat. Good stuff!

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2007. It’s a mild, fine, but not very exciting. Some choc/coffee.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival. Low socre but not for anuthing out of oder it was just too bland. Slightly sweet and burnt sugar. Muddy appearance. Watery palate. Dull.

Gravity Cask @ Reading Beer Fesitval 07. Sweet and grainy with toffee. Pleasant and unexciting.
