2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest, 15th Sept 2007. Clear light brown with no head. Caramel aroma yet also chemical. Flavour of toffeeish malt with sake hints too. Full bodied but the alcohol is way too evident for a beer of this ABV. It’s ok but flawed.

A Mes rate:
Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest. Strange amber orange brown colour. Sweet treacle and malt aroma with some slight buttery notes. Tea and malt flavour, not my thing at all. Slight alcohol in the bitter finish. Next!
