MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 18, 2007
A Mes rate: Gravicask at Pigs Ear.
Reasonable copper colour. Rather too yeasty in the aroma. Much to yeasty in the mouth. Tastes like it isn’t quite ready yet. Fruity finish with some light tobacco notes and eventual bitterness. Blah, blah, blah...

KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 14, 2007
UPDATED: DEC 17, 2007 Cask. Very yeasty, this one could have done with some more conditioning. Some fine malt and hops lingering in there, but they are covered by a film of yeast. Sorry!
