Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival, September 2007. Dark chestnut with a red tint. Subtle smoky malt and light chocolate in the aroma. Also a slight sharp snatch. More of the same on the palate. Some tart berry fruit and light hop bitterness too. Quite smooth mouthfeel but a fair amount of bite too. Easy drinking but plenty of character. Good.

Cask@St. Albans BF. A decent porter. Has some lightly toffee-ish/caramelly sweetness at the start. Slightly roasty, with some light berry fruit characters and subtle smoke. Palate is light, but the flavour is quite interesting all the way through.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at St. Albans Beer Festival. Dark, slightly translucent brown with an oily topping. Sweet malt, floral, fruity, caramel, slight diacetyl and generally missing a lot of what I like about the style. Drinkable and inoffensive but not what I expect from a good porter.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Very dark brown. Choccy ness is a little subdued. Easy drinking porter, some berry, little bit of sour. Lovely though and I didn’t realise it was this strong.
