MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 24, 2008
A Mes rate. Gravicask at the Bree Louise. Dark copper with a thin off white head. A bit of condition in it too. Excellent balance of earthy malt and grassy hops in the aroma. Delicate but pleasant. Similar flavour. Again nicely balanced. A touch of cinder toffee and caramel in the finish with some late dusty bitterness. Straight forward but very enjoyable. Decent beer.

FatPhil (6210) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 18, 2009
Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Rich red, healthy head. Smooth grainy aroma, cereally. Sweet malty taste, some bitterness and candi-sugar. Adequate, but not exciting. Too sweet. Is this a golden ale with caramel added for colour?

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 5, 2009
Cask in the Market Porter. Alround rating: Caramel and biscuity hop, raw grassy hop character, noteably bitter. Its not balanced, but its not over sweet or bitter, yet not bittersweet. Iv no idea what was going on here.

KnutAlbert (4613) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 6, 2008
Cask at Market Porter Fine amber beer. Lovely session bitter. Fine malty body, enough bitterness to balance it, smooth enough to let it glide down. Moreish!
