Gravi-Cask at the Black Dog, Whitstable, 12/10/19. Amber pour with a decent egg shell white head. Nose is dried fruits, caramel, biscuit malts, toasted grains, faint spice. Taste comprises toffee, dusty fruits, brown bread, light spice, cheesecake base. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Fine for the style.
