Keg at Evening Star, Brighton. It pours jet black with a small beige head. The aroma is roasted malt, cracked black peppercorn, coffee, liquorice, treacle and toffee. The taste is crisp, bitter, creamy, rich roast, pepper, toffee, juniper, earth and umami with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Great balance. Interesting and enjoyable.

Gravity Cask at the St Neots Booze on the Ouse Beer Festival, 2016 as ’American Pale Ale’. Same ABV, very similar deScription... I’m sure it’s the same beer. Dark gold, almost orange. Muddled aroma with strong malt competing with tangerine hop. A real forest-floor earthiness to the smell. Bitter taste, some sweetness in the middle but it ends pronouncedly bitter. Medium body, oily palate. Decent enough but a bit messy and not a patch on Bexar County’s best beers.

Gravity cask at the Draymans Son, Ely. Light brown, translucent. Smells like coffee... tastes like coffee. Seriously, unlike many breakfast beers this seems to be a very simple recipe which is dominated by the addition of mild nutty coffee. Bitter aftertaste, body is a bit thin. Having said this, it has an amazing amount if flavour for 3.8%.
