Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark brown, very slightly translucent with a small uneven khaki head and lots of lacing. Light chocolate notes on the nose. Taste is beautiful, sweet with chocolate and light smoke, turning a bit bitter mid-sip. Smooth all the way down, light but velvety mouthful with a nutty bitter aftertaste. Soft carbonation. Solid.

Gravicask, one-half, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Black in the glass, steady beige head, clingy lacing. Banana chocolate moments to the nose. Similar taste of banana and chocolate malts with hints of biscuit. Mid-sweet malt driven end. Quite alright. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).
