Gravity Dispense at Wandsworth Common Halloween Beer Festival 2012. Slightly obscured amber with a thin white head that soon clears to the edges. Toffee, dark fruit, a little nuttiness and booze on the nose. Tastes of sweet caramelised sugar, dark fruit, dates, prunes and a little booze. Fullish bodied with a boozey sweet finish. I enjoyed this one !

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Halloween Festival 2011. Pours rich, caramel-red with a small, white head. Rich fruit aroma, subtle booze, caramel. Very rich, sweet flavor, toasted sugar, ripe fruits, slight leafy bitters. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish, sticky sugar, booze, apples and other fruits. Not bad.

Cask @ Royal Oak, Twerton. Dull amber. A little caramel aroma, with hints at being sticky. Sticky body, though, with a little nettle-like spiciness. Interesting might be the best word to describe it. A little bit of alcohol late - good if sweet and sticky is your thing.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Hazy amber beer. Ghostly white head. Light dry palate. Another very sweet beer from this brewer. Very sweet marmalade with candy sweet red fruits underneath. Trace of bubblegum in there somewhere. Semi dry finish. Now I like a sweet beer - I really do - but this was almost too sweet for me!

On gravity at the Old Tavern, Bristol 23/2/08. Amber coloured with no head. Sweet malt and grassy hop aroma. Flavour was cloyingly sweet with a chewy mouth feel and honey finish. Ok in small amounts.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Copper/orange colour with bubbly off white head. Rather nice vanilla flavour. Big and syrupy beer. Nice heat on end. I really like it. Good malty aroma, nice vanilla/peach flavour. Some hop on finish.
