Cask In Various Places. Including *that* day at Barrow Hill with Mes and Sim and Ang etc. Deep breath.... it’s roast and toast and cream and dreamy peaty and sweetness and meaty chocolate and and and... Richard’s doing something right; Bottle Brook ought to remain as a flagship for dark beer and leave Leadmill to the hop smack. Awesome stuff.

May 29, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Rail Ale fest.
Almost black brown with a thin tan rim. Roasty, very earthy, dusty, thick and chewy. Nice sweetness from the alcohol which is quite clear but very tasty. Love the peaty notes, it really works. Excellent sweet and creamy yet dry and toasty finish. Very good stuff.

Mar 17, 2008 Cask gravity at London Drinker BF 08. Black with thin beige head. Slightly choccy, some heat from alcohol. OK, that’s an impy stout. That woke me up from a mid afternoon lull. A little lacking in fullness in the mouth. Lots of beautiful dark choc on finish. Somewhat bitter, but not harsh. The dark choc on the finish is excellent. Settle down into a very subtle impy stout with an almost liquid 70% cocoa dark choc. This gets better as you drink it. Lovely.

Jan 7, 2008 Cask, Derby Winter Fest 2008. Near black with a beige foam. Aromas are earthy roast coffee with some caramel. Dry with evident alcohol. Flavours are spicy hops and coffee with slightly gritty grain. Some sweet caramel. Warming alcohol on the finish. Decent.
