Cask @ The Bear, Camberwell. Amber colour with foamy head. Aroma is a little skunky, malty, sulphur, citrus hops. Taste is caramel, creamy. Mouthfeel is watery to start but sweetens before leaving a bitter aftertaste.

Oct 3, 2008 A Mes rate: gravicask at the Bree Louise.<\i>
Copperish red colour with no head whatsoever. Typical of the Bree Louise the cask has clearly been sat on the bar for a while without any facilities for proper chillage and it’s now becoming sour. Seems to be reasonably balanced underneath but all I’m getting is a lemony sourness. Double up the alcohol and add a load of body and it would be able to handle it easily. As it is, it’s ok but it’s really struggling. Bree Louise sort your gravity temperature out!
