Cask-conditioned at the Sussex beer festival, Seven Stars, Bristol 4/1/2011. Reddish amber in colour with a decent, off-white head. Malty, slightly earthy aroma with red fruit and hint of caramel. Flavour of sweetish malts and berry fruit, with along bitter finish. Good.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 07. Red to deep russet, bubbly off white head. Decent choccy, red/black fruity malts. Very good beer, lovely deep malts. I’m impressed. Very drinkable.

A Mes rate:
Gravicask at Kent Beer Festival. Hazy brown amber colour. Nicely balanced aroma with a slight sweetness. Sweet malty flavour with some light hoppage and a pleasing spritzy feel. Slightly sticky sadly but reasonable over all.

Cask, General Elliot, South Hinksey in southwest Oxford. Dark copper, generous stickly layer of soapy off-white, lingering all the way down the glass. Tawny, oaky aroma. A fresh autumn day. Pears. A smoky flavor, touch of roast lending a bit of dryness to the finish. Palate is just a touch thin. Pleasant, interesting, but just little clumsy here and there.
