Tredje dag på slipp med Fridtjofen, flaske delt med skibsrederen mens vi venter på at arbeidslysten akal melde seg: rødlig rav med flott skum som varer. Frutkig bitteraroma og -smak med urter, nøtter, mørke fløtekarameller og jordaktige toner. Lekker bittersøt avslutning. Meget lettdrikkelig, så dette ble en god start på arbeidsdagen, og perfekt på soldekket.

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.

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).

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.
