Medium brown in colour with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, red fruit and barley sugar aroma. Flavour was also sweet, with some earthiness and a syrupy finish. Drab.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest, 15th Sept 2007. Clear light brown with no head. Caramel aroma yet also chemical. Flavour of toffeeish malt with sake hints too. Full bodied but the alcohol is way too evident for a beer of this ABV. It’s ok but flawed. MesandSim (5851), London, Greater London, England

Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest. Strange amber orange brown colour. Sweet treacle and malt aroma with some slight buttery notes. Tea and malt flavour, not my thing at all. Slight alcohol in the bitter finish. Next! fonefan (11525), VestJylland, Denmark

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Jan 31, 2005 Cask @ Camra National Winter Ale Festival, Manchester, UK 26 Jan 2005 Taste related to vomit and nuts (the eatable kind, too). Asked the expertise behind the bar at the festival and they said it is supposed to taste like this. "Masterpiece" my a**. Needless to say, it went down the drain. (Someone said it is better on handpump; here served by gravity directly from the stomach...uhm...cask).
