One-third pint ale dispensed on gravity at GBBF 09. Nice and clean, devil-black body. Smell of dark fruits and mild roasted malts. Jam-like flavour with fruitcakes and prunes supported by sweet, black malts. Well rounded aftertaste with rather low impact of alcohol on the palate (Earls Court, 07.08.2009).

Gravicask from The Brewery Bar at GBBF 09. Dark tan coloured body with a small, off-white head. Plums and raisin in aroma with a alcoholic tingle. Lots of dried and dark fruits added by dark berries with a underlying caramel and liquorice taste from the malts. Vinous palate with a decent alcohol punch. Full bodied. Good stuff. A bottle of this one on a dark winter night would have been even greater (Earls Court, 07.08.2009)

Nice appearance with its shiny clear, copper coloured body. While the aroma has got a fresh smell of floral hops, the flavour profile is more in the direction of leafy hops. Dry bitter finish. An average version of the style with a strong session potentiality. Sample, gravity cask (GBBF, 07.08.2009).
