Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW - London. Pours deep brown with a frothy, tan head. Nose carries faint roasted malts and some minerals. Light sweet flavor with well toasted bread, bits of ash and charred malts, light burnt bread, subtle burnt leaves. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Lightly drying to finish with further minerals, ash, lightly sugary burnt bread. It’s always a real feat when a brewery makes an interesting, tasty mild, and this one is easily both.

Gravicask, half, shared with Finn. Missing head to an opaque, dark-brown coloured body. Malty nose with hints of dark fruits. Chocolate malts in the flavour offset by fruity notes. Faint roasted bitter ending. Ok, easy going (Redhill Beer Festival, 02.11.2012).

Gravicask, half-pint shared with Finn at the Redhill Beer Festival. Clear, dark amber body without a head. Malt-fruity smell. Bready malts and resinous hops in the flavour character. Bittersweet twist to the ending. Easy to drink and pretty straight forward for the style, 02.11.2012.
