A Mes rate: Gravicask at the White Horse in Hedgerley.
Black with a rim of tan bubbles. Very fruity with some nice chocolate malt and some good coffee in the finish. A solid drinkable mild.

11th September 2009
Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Opaque black beer, light tan head. Light fruity nose (raspberry!). Palate is light and dry. Sour and fruity with lightly toasted malt. Undertone of raspberry, pineapple and generic fruits. Finishes semi dry.

Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’12. Dark brown with thin head. Thin malty beer with metallic edge, a hint of boiled veg, then coffee husk, greenish. Not for me.

At The Front, Falmouth. Nice black/reddish colour with creamy head which was short lived. Roast and toffee on the nose with plum fruit. Creamy feel on taste with malt and roast, sweetness is mixture of fruit and toffee with a moderate bitterness. Finish is fairly long with a growing bitterness as the sweetness fades. A good mild, would choose again.

Cask @ GBBF 2011, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.

Clear dark black brown colour with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, chocolate. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, dry. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20110802]

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2011 Cask at GBBF 2011. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of licorice, toffee, roasted malt and dried fruit. Swetish fruity flavour with a touch of licorice and a decent hoppy finish

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 3. Pours dark brown with a lovely, tan head. Faint roasted malts in the aroma, some other dark malt notes. Bitter, mildly fruity flavor, lightly sweet, faint burnt wood and mild plastic. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild roasty finish, some burnt sugar. So so.

Cask (GBBF2011)
Cheesy aroma - feet. Sweet raisiny, almost port-like, taste. Wooly in the mouth too, tobacco, some ashtray burntness. Cheese pops up in the retronasals sometimes. Shame, as otherwise it’s very good.
