3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A Mes rate. Gravicask at London Drinker.
Black brown colour with a thin beige film. Slight funk in the aroma with a pleasing hint of pig farm. Really good coffee notes offset by a faint sourness. Young and fresh in the mouth, effortlessly drinkable and with a dry finish with a touch of sourness. Really well made and just what a mild should be. In fact it’s the best mild I’ve had in a while.
