(070808) harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Jul 10, 2008 Cask gravity at Ealing BF 2008. Clear dark reddy brown, thin beige head. Eggy yeast. Some fruit, damson/cherry. Some good choc. Juicy and grainy. Slightly farty which puts me off, not that good and I think I poured some away. MesandSim (4623), Highgate, Greater London, England Jul 10, 2008 <i>A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.</i><br />Clear dark brown with a good off white head. Good roasted malt aroma with hints of fruit and a slight smokyness. A lovely sugary note in the flavour with some excellent roasty malt, really nice chocolate, slight liquorice and a good fruity chocolate finish. Quite dry. Rather tasty.
