Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Black beer lasting beige head. Definitely a brown ale. Decent hops on finish. Sine line flavour. Some American brown character but a but deeper and darker. Dark malt aroma. Good departure into dark beers from Oakham. Decent bitterness on the finish. OK.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato da luppolo, agrumato e frutta tropicale. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato pesante. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo per una birra che ha una sua personalità. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro e di pericolosa beverinità. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo e ananas.

Gravicask, half-pint, shared with Finn. A beige, bubbly head leaving spotty lacing on the glass, deep dark brown body. Inviting aromas of brown malts and earth. Malty depth flavours of mild brittle caramel added by a bite of dark fruits. Drying close, lightly roasted. Pretty good.

Second session, 44th Liverpool Beer Festival, Metropolitan Cathedral Crypt
