3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gravicask (Cambridge Winter Ale Festival 2011)
Stale chocolate cake aroma. Brown. Stodgy, even sticky, in the mouth, very small hint of mushrooms. Finish is stale coffee, according to Phil. Not on top form.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask - Kings Head, Norwich. Bubbly though relatively thick and creamy, lasting off-white head, leaving a uniform lace atop a clear amber-mid brown body. Tangy red fruits, some nuttiness and yeast aromas. Almond on the tongue, yeast with a lightly sharp tangy and a light fruit skin and dryish English hop bitterness. Softish palate, light to medium body with a lingering tangy, fruit skin finish. Maybe not in the best condition, which is surprsing for the KH.
