A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
Deep copper colour with an oily film topping. Full on malt with a really cheesy funk and a nice sting from the alcohol. Good malty finish and well balanced considering its strength.

Cask @ O’Connell’s Irish Pub, Tampere. Rated on 10.06.2011
Aroma is sweet with caramel and hints of alcohol. Flavour has caramel, alcohol and sweet malt. The alcohol stings at first, then creates a good body for the beer and warms at the finish. Too much alcohol here, but this is somehow interesting brew anyway.

Cask (CWAF2012)
Dull orange to gold, small head. Good tasty English hops. Full smooth palate, carbonation low, getting a bit flat. Sweetish malts fill the mouth, some mushrooms coming in later. Was a little tired, but still pretty drinkable.
