oh6gdx (6343), Vaasa, Finland Aug 29, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is earth, wood and some slight fruityness. Flavuor is the same. Quite boring brew. Mes_and_Sim (4487), Highgate, Greater London, England Aug 13, 2007 A Mes rate:
Gravicask at GBBF. Dark golden colour with no head. Malty aroma with some tea. Wheaty flavour with a dry bitter finish that gives it a bit of bite. Rather dull elsewhere.
