Gravicask at Stratford Alehouse, half-pint shared with Finn. Clear copper body, filmy layer, scattered lacing. Promising malt-fruity aromas, toffee and ripe fruits. Rather rich taste of brittle caramel followed by a touch of dark fruits to a slightly roasted end. Quite nice. (Stratford-upon-Avon 02.02.2020).
