Gravity Cask at Nottingham Beer & Cider Festival 2025. Dark amber brown colour, thin foam rim and aroma of roast malt. Taste is roasty, malty, tangy, with watery & bready notes and some earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying roasted bitterness finish. Quite drinkable

Light-medium bodied. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hoppy Porter, as described. Verging on a BIPA but with sweet elements.

Half-pint, cask ale at Figure of Eight (JDW). Remaining beige head leaving upper part lacing on the glass, deep dark brown body. Moderately roasted aromas of brown malts, bready. Mid-sweet taste profile of caramel malts, bread, and cocoa. Roasted grainy bitterness to the end. Like it. (Birmingham 15.02.2023).

Ultramørk amber. Lavt tett skum med litt farge. Sjokoladearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken rosin, svisker & kakao. Tørr, lett bitter avslutning. Litt røstet malt.

500ml bottle. Dark brown, slight ruby tinge, small off-white head, reasonable retention. Aroma is chocolate malts, light roast, semi-sweetness. Taste is sweet, roast malts, chocolate, red berries, bitter finish, very moreish. Moderate body and nice soft carbonation. There are no surprises here but it is a well made good solid tasty porter.
