Gravicask at Tuckers Malting Beer Festival. Deep dark brown body, spotty lacing from a dissipating beige head. Chocolate nose, smooth and inviting. Sweet flavours of honey, chocolate and earth malts followed by a backdrop of dark fruits. Fine bodied. A nice one. (Newton Abbot 27.04.2017).

Bottle from brewer’s own stand at Mapledurham Food Festival. Amber-brown with a thin off-white head. Toffee, roasty malt, a touch of chocolate and a whisper of blackberry. Doesn’t taste its strength and doesn’t taste like a stout either - I’d have guessed it was a 4.7% ESB. Pleasant enough though, but pretty forgettable.

Bottle Dan brought back from Devon, shared at his. Poured dark brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma of chocolate, light coffee and roasted malt. Light to medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Toward being medium bodied, oily texture, below average carbonation.

Disparate head over hazy light-brown beer (stout???). Bottom solid yeast. Woody nose, chocolate malt, pencil(wood). Chocolate, sweetish, lightly coloured malts. Acidity backthroat (light). Quite well-bodied for its ABV. Feels better carbonated than it looks. I agree - "Brown Jack" doesn’t sound very comestible. But this Jack ain’t black! Txs to Stef!

Bottle from Crocombe’s, Lynmouth. Mid-brown with no head. Described as a ’light stout’ it is in colour, and surprisingly so in its taste given its strength, we which is not overly obvious. There’s a sweetness amongst its roasted malts in its nose, and this is more dominant in its taste.

Bottle conditioned 500ml: BBD 1st May 14, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 29th Nov 13. Clear ruby red body and thin looking for a regular Stout: it’s name should be Ruby Stout maybe. The head was thin to begin with and became a minute wisp and collar within seconds, that’s bad in my eyes, which is a real shame because the body colour is lovely. Aroma wise it gave off milk chocolate esters: like a Cadbury’s Creamy Egg. The taste wasn’t too far away from that either. It was very Milk Stout, but with semi-skimmed milk, smooth but not uber-smooth: I really took to it. Different and lovely in every way apart from the none-head, what a pity.

Cask at GBBF 2012 - London. Pours clear brown with a fine, white cream head. Light toasty malt nose, some burnt leaves. Light to medium sweet flavor with toasty malt character, dirty-leafy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faint dryness to finish, moderate leafy and earthy bitterness, toasty malts. Basic but nice.
