Gravity cask at the 28th St Albans Beer Festival, 26/09/25.
Deep mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that soon thins.
Nose is cocoa powder, dark malts, dried fruit rinds.
Taste comprises tangy fruits, artificial sweet notes perhaps chocolate, mellow roast, brown bread.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close.
Okay if a little muddled and not a natural flavour profile being picked up.

26/9/2025. Cask at the St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2025. Nice pour. Aroma is dark chocolate, liquorice, ash, caramel, dark fruits, plastic edge. Touch of aniseed. Quite drying, roasted finish. Old style porter. Not bad.

Gravicask, half-pint at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Shared with Finn. Ruby-black body, spotty lacing, declining fawn-coloured head. Plain chocolate malty aromas, smoothly roasted. Moderate chocolate malty flavours, hints of earth and liquorice. Rather short dark malt-driven end, roasted. Decent, slightly anonymous though. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).
