Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal cream head. There’s chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma. Dark fruits and malts to the fore initially in the mouth alongside traces of plums and figs. After a while liquorice comes through strongly to dominate the flavour. Overall it is quite sweet though. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. This is decent.

Gravicask at The 14th Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival, first day. Shared with Finn. Fawn-coloured head resting on top of a coal black body, lacing rings down the glass. Inviting smell of roasted dark bread, mid-sweet. Comprehensive malt-driven flavours, impacts if chocolate, liquorice, dark bread, and even a backdrop of dark fruits. Roasted ending. Nice, just a bit thin on the swallow. (Nottingham 12.10.2022).
