Jul 9, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Ealing Beer Festival.
Dark amber with a thin rim of white foam. A nice combination of sweet toffee and some bitter hops. Decent citric finish. A straight down the line but solid English bitter.

Jul 9, 2008 gravicask @ kingston bf 08. Malty, fresh, floral nose. Dark mahogany colour. Flavour is light, of toffee, caramel and bread. Easy drinking. sweet strange malt aftertaste with just a tad of hop.
DruncanVeasey (1720), No. 46, Leicestershire, Germany
Sep 5, 2007 Updated: Nov 4, 2007Bottled. Surprised to see the ratings are so low for this one. Glowy red-orange with an impressively heaped head/ and drapes of lace. Aromatic and rocky. Juicy Turkish Delight hop fruitiness in the nose (Cascade), floral and beckoning. Murderously bitter tonic water/grapefruit hoppiness easily the equal of XX Bitter, Orval or Goose Island IPA -benchmarks of the kind of hop dryness I’ve a weakness for. Not much else going on, but this is a big, clean, refreshing and uncompromisingly hopped bitter Bitter, with character far outstripping its modest strength. Completely one-dimensional, but what the hell? Would actively seek out again.
Nekronos (1943), Xalapa, Mexico
Apr 17, 2006 VEry bitter, but not extremely annoying as others. IT has a sweet floral aroma, but not too much, which let learn this has a lot of Hops in it, at least high.
