Med Fridtjofen på slipp på Tau: flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, delt med skibsrederen. Nesten helt klar kobber med kort skum. Aroma og smak av brøddeig, urter, samt litt honning og ristede nøtter. Slank og lavt karbonert, så den sklir lett innenfor snippen. Fin floral bitterhet. Kan gjerne gjentas med full pint.

Bottle shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen at Tau Slipp og båtbyggeri 31.0817. Clear copper. Diminishing white head. Aroma and taste of sweet malt, syrup, noble hops, dates and a hint of honey. Excellent quaffability!

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.3%. Brown to dark amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma of malts, chocolate and dark berries. Malty flavour but fairly dry, slight roast, again notes of chocolate, hints of caramel, a little fruit. Moderate hops. Still much better than expected after reading the other ratings, more than nice enough to drink. Might well buy again.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with a thin bright white head. Aroma: reminiscent of Sourz Apple but very sweet, artificial, I get no malt or hop notes at all. Taste: very sweet artificial apple, the finish is very bitter and very metallic and chemically, like someone has sprayed bleach in my mouth, again absolutely no malt or hops detected. Couldn’t manage more than a few sips of this. I really hope this was just a bad bottle and it’s not supposed to taste like this...

Gravicask at Tuckers Malting Beer Festival. Deep dark brown body, spotty lacing from a dissipating beige head. Chocolate nose, smooth and inviting. Sweet flavours of honey, chocolate and earth malts followed by a backdrop of dark fruits. Fine bodied. A nice one. (Newton Abbot 27.04.2017).

Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Clear golden with a small head. Full with its apple aroma, but bland in its apple taste.

Bottle from brewer’s own stall at the Mapledurham Food Festival. Amber with a thin white head. Caramel dominates, with a touch of toast and honey. Slips down easily enough, but it’s surprisingly dull for a brew of this strength.

Bottle from brewer’s own stand at Mapledurham Food Festival. Amber-brown with a thin off-white head. Toffee, roasty malt, a touch of chocolate and a whisper of blackberry. Doesn’t taste its strength and doesn’t taste like a stout either - I’d have guessed it was a 4.7% ESB. Pleasant enough though, but pretty forgettable.

Bottle at home in London - sourced via Ocado. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds lightly toasted grains, pale bread, dried citrus peel. Light sweet flavour with some biscuity notes, light husky grains, mellow bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, further pale grains, light husky bitterness, hay, very slight orange impressions. Enjoyable golden bitter.
