Served at a fine drinking temperature from gravity cask at Bar Unusuale, GBBF 09. Slightly unclear orange-golden body. The ginger part is rather over the top in aroma and taste. Notes of malts beneath. Spicy bitter endnotes. Different with some pleasing moments, but not easy to drink (Second day at the festival, 05.08.2009).

Gravicask from Bar Unusuale at GBBF 09. Clear golden body topped by a bubbly ring. Floral hoppy to the nose. Fresh fruity taste progressing to a pleasant bittersweet finish. Typical for the style and just alright to drink (London,05.08.2009).

LCRBM 2009. Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass deep black. Roasty aroma. Starts very roasty-malty, smoky, notes of chocolate and liquorice. Finish milder, but warming aftertaste. Good.

Beige-cream, small head over black beer. Stout-roasted grains, with aromas of lunaria, starfruit, etc. Sweet, roasted, with a long, just-not sourish flavour going into a bitter chocolate aftertaste. Medium bodied, lighter in the finish, spritzy. OK Porter, nothing special, saved by the bitter chocolate end.

(Cask at Marble Arch, Manchester, 24 July 2009, labeled "Pint") Golden colour with creamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, grass and soapy, floral hops. Fruity taste with citrus, grass and a touch of toffee. Lots of taste considering the fairly low abv. Fairly light body, mainly dry. Fresh, tasty and very drinkable.
