Mar 14, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Sussex Beer Festival.
Very dark red brown with a thin white rim. Malty darkness on the nose but nothing too special. Reasonable malt and hop balance but just a little boring. Tea in the finish doesn’t help it out any. Dull.

Feb 17, 2008 Cask at The Market Porter London Bridge 5 Feb 08. Dark mahogany colored. A lasting creamy head. Inviting aroma of dark coffee and chocolate. Flavor of dark fruits. Dry bitter finish. A "different" stout.

Feb 10, 2008 Cask, Market Porter, London. Dark ruby black, thin off-white head. Nose is clinical and burnt malt, some weird grainy infected tones. Mouth is talc dry and some summer fruit with lots of lactic maltiness. Quite light bodied and dry but in an icing sugar way. Sweet and roasted, but alright.

Feb 14, 2007 Cask gravity at Battersea BF 2007. Very deep ruby colour with no head. Reasonably good stout. Nice subtle dark roast flavours. Fullish in mouth. Not overly dry or sour. Quite drinkable. Nice choc on finish.
