Gravity @ Medway Beer Fest. Pitch black with a ragged brown ring. Enormous coffee aroma. An absolute wow! there's a slap of leather in there and a bit of roasted beef. Wonderful. It's a shame the flavour doesn't live up to the promise of the aroma. It's decent enough - some dark chocolate and that chocolate again, but with big watery gaps and a rather timid finish. The body is thin and refreshing - perhaps too thin.

Cask Conditioned at The Golden Ball, York. Dark black red beer with malty head. Dark roasted chocolate malts with long dry acidic aftertaste. A nicely rounded stout.

Had this cask-conditioned beer on draught in a Glasgow pub. It was absolutely amazing. It must be the freshest beer I’ve ever had. Dark, creamy, fresh roasted coffee, oats and licorice.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Dark black. Coffee, oat and licorice aroma. Sweet and full bodied with creamy mouthfeel. Really roasty. Bitter finish.
