Cask at GBBF 08 ... Deep copper colour ... light fruit nose ...bitter fruity malt with a little hop

Coal-black body with ruby highlights. Topped by a thin ring of off-white bubbles. Malt-fruity profile. Dark fruity flavoured with roasted notes. Rounded bitterness to the finish (third pint, gravicask at GBBF, 06.08.2008).

A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Amber with a slight haze. Dull earthy malt with faint notes of toffee and hazelnut and some slight grassy hops in the finish. Rather thin in the mouth. Inoffensive, just rather boring.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 6 Aug 2008) Dark brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with notes of chocolate, toffee and cola. Malty, nutty taste with chocolate and dried fruit. Slightly roasted with a nutty malt sweetnees throughout. Decent but hardly exciting.

On tap at Marthas, served in a pint glass. Beer is a murky, cloudy brown color with a 1/2" off white head. Sturdy lacing rings the glass. Nose is sort of sweet with caramel notes as well as malts and floral hops. Taste is the same characteristics as nose with a hoppy finish. Could have used a little more body.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF2008. A chestnut brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy with a bit of woodiness. The taste is similar with some bread, toast and caramel. Too thin.

Cask@GBBF2008. Deep amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is mildly roasted malts, vanilla, oak and mild spices. Flavour is wooden hops along with some strawy, hay and mild grassyness. Hay and wood in the aftertaste.
