Gravity, Leicester 2011. Mahogany with a beige halo. Overtly curry-like nose over compost, burnt malt and liquorice. Roasted, not hot but certainly curry-like with an enigmatic flourish of spices that may include ginger, fenugreek, fennel seed.... a nip of chilli heat? I’ve honestly no idea. Roots, earth, roasted veg, burnt toast finish. Strange, alluring stuff.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2011 1. Cask Handpump at The Venue, Miles Platting 19/01/2011 Fruit and some spiced aromas. Dark coloured a little rich on the palate and spicy nutmeg flavour with a hint of dryness in a slightly bitter roast malt finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Prince Of Wales, Foxfield 12/03/2011 Slight roast aroma. Black and a little rich on the palate with a liquorice flavour. Bitter roast finish.

Bottle. Dark Brown with a small head and a medium body. Spicy and quite complex. Definitely different and worth trying.
