Nice mild creamy beginning. Soft roasted caramel, subtle sweetish toffee, a bit thin in taste. Easy to drink, moderate bitter, roasted sweetened espresso, a bit thin. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black Arrow on 12 May 2024 at 22:41 - Score: 6.

Gravicask, shared with Finn at Spa Valley 9th Beer & Cider Festival. Clear dark brown body, low beige head, fair lacing. Roasted mid-sweet malty aromas. Dark caramel flavours followed by a mild rasted finish. Pretty okay. (Tunbridge Wells 18.10.2019).

22/3/2019. Cask at the Sussex Beer & Cider Festival, Brighton. Pours almost black with a bubbly off-white to beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted note, dark fruit, berries and a hint of liquorice. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness and a light sour edge. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average combination. Has a slight sour berry finish. Ok.
