Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - Winter. Also available filtered in bottle. Also sold as a charity beer under the name Battle Of Britain Beer.
A robust, full-flavoured, dark old ale with real depth of flavour and a long finish. A classic in the true tradition of old ales. Satisfyingly dark but not impenetrable, good body but not overpowering, with a long pleasing finish. Exceptional balance of premium malt and choice English hops, carrying the unmistakable Chiltern ‘stamp’.
The beer’s idiosyncratic name is taken from the area immediately surrounding the Brewery, known as the Three Hundreds of Aylesbury, not to be confused with the Chiltern Hundreds, which extend across the Chiltern Hills at the back of the Brewery.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.
Dark copper coloured with a thin film topping. Slight maltiness, a bit of chocolate and a very slight roasty hint. Rather dull but completely inoffensive.

Bottle. Golden brown with a small head. Aromas are malty with caramel and a light roast character. Flavours are weetabix malts with sweet light roast notes and chocolate. Earthy hops with a prickly bitterness.

Bottle. Copper coloured with a slim off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some sweet malts. Nice dry, fruity and hoppy taste. I’m not sure it’s an old ale, but good anyway.

Bottle, thanks Chris_o. Not what I would call an old ale. Copper colour with beige head. Sweetish malt aroma, some hop. It’s more of an ESB. Not at all bad. Good dried fruit. As an ESB it’s good. Bit of choc malt. Hop balances it.
