fonefan (5411), Ulfborg, Denmark Jun 11, 2008 <b>Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.</b><br />Clear medium orange amber color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, nutty, light hoppy, flowers, perfume. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is flat. (020508) harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Jun 3, 2008 Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. Chestnut pale, with thin beige head. Decent choc and malt, some hop. Good in mouth, some depth, a little rubbery on the hop, but overall a decent strong bitter. Bit of Airfix glue on aroma. Decent, but has unattractive elements. MesandSim (4559), Highgate, Greater London, England May 6, 2008 <i>A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.</i><br />Dark amber with no head. Slight chlorine in the aroma, otherwise earthy and dull. Tean and malt in the mouth with some slight hoppage on the finish along with some delicate sweetness. Nuts??? Where? Dull. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Nov 22, 2007 Cask conditioned @ Guide Dog Soton. Brown. Nutty malty bitter with fruity toffee undertones and mild leafy hop bitterness. Reasonably full but not oversweet beer which is pretty drinkable. Contribution of chestnuts seems minimal. Pretty good.
