Gravicask, half pint, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Almost clear golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Peachy aromas, promising. Quite similar taste of peaches, and an impact of berry-fruit. Rounded mid-dry fruity tail. Just alright. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

Gravicask, half, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. A decent fawn-coloured head over a near-black body, spotty lacing. Promising aromas of grainy chocolate. Cocoa-chocolate flavoured, earthy and also with a twist of dark fruits. Ends dry with earthy chocolate malts. Likeable. (Rating no. 23800) (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

Hand-pulled half-pint at the Anvil Inn, Shifnal on 6th October 2023, beer festival in progress. This was my first beer and most likely the one I enjoyed the most during my tasting session of six beers and four ciders. Golden body, white crown and in really good condition. Decent hop nose (piney and fruity) on a bed of semi-sweet malty molasses that gave balance and depth to the brew.
