Gravicask third, main bar at the Spa Valley 9th Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Dark reddish-brown body, spotty lacing, filmy layer. Smell of dark bread and berry-fruits. Brown malty flavours of toffee and nuts, added by moments of berry fruits. Mid-sweet malt-berry finish. Satisfying. (Tunbridge Wells 18.10.2019).
