Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Coal black body, a bubbly ring to the rim of the surface, low beige head. Roasted aromas of cocoa and chocolate. Similar taste profile of chocolate and cocoa, added by a backdrop of dark fruits. Ends moderately roasted, dark malts and prunes. Medium bodied. Decent. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter i Burton-Upon-Trent. Svart. Skumring med litt farge. Lett sjokoladearoma. Smaken røstet malt. På den søte siden. Uvariert.

I think that I'd absolutely love it if it was 10 degrees warmer

Can from Copper Street Brewhouse, Dorchester. Lightly hazed amber with a large white head. Great full mouthfeel for a packaged bitter - cut the fizz a bit and I felt it could pass for a cask beer. A mellow maltiness up front followed by orange, then an earthy bitterness in the finish. Great balance, very drinkable and very more-ish. This was absolutely bang on what I wanted to relax with after finishing work at the end of a particularly tough week. Just what a bitter should be, and one of the best non-cask ones I've had.

Can split at the Grand Reunion Tasting at MM, Thanks to Tips 20/05/21. Light golden blonde with a decent off white covering that thins to a swirl. Nose is light floral tones, melon, citric peel, grass. Taste comprises citric tinged straw, peach, tangerine, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying clos splashed with balanced hop bitterness. Decent easy drinker.
