Aug 4, 2008 The Shakespeare’s Head, Leicester. Chesnut half lined with lace. Lightly sulphurous nose with some musty hop reinforcement. Soggy Digestive, milky stillness, definite note of wood. Pleasantly hopped, mellow bitter. But completely unexceptional.

Feb 25, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at the Bricklayers.
Mid brown with a good white head. Very "green" malty aroma with some very slight smokey notes and some nice prickly hops. Nice nutty malt in the mouth with good hoppage and a nice bitter finish. A solid but not particularly exciting bitter.

Feb 23, 2008 Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Chestnut colour with lasting thin beige, toffeeish yeasty aroma. Sweetish malt in mouth, with some dryness on finish. Bit of butter on aroma. Finish is a vague tickle. Drinkable, but not remarkable. It’s a bitter.
