 durhambeer (535), Durham, USA
Sep 16, 2008 Draft from Union Hall. Clear medium brown pour with smallish white head. Roasty malt taste. Slightly nutty and even a bit of dried fruit, I think. Sweet and easy to drink. A little bit of hop bite in a good way. Very easy to drink if rather unremarkable overall.

Sep 15, 2008 On tap. Dark pour with foamy lace. Fairly dry, roasted grain taste, with a touch of charcoal. Moderately bitter hops blended well with grain flavors. Not much aroma or sweetness, and a little light.

Aug 27, 2008 Tap at Brewery. Transparent brown with small white head. Aromas of malt, caramel, and small hop presence. Lacks in flavor and is just bland. Nothing special.

Aug 25, 2008 A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Mid amber coloured with no head. Rich malty aroma with plenty of bread and some yeasty notes. Grainy flavour with some nuts and wheat with some sharp and slightly sour fruit but in a good way, honestly. Decent bitter finish. Not bad at all.
Svesse (1818), Hässelby, Sweden
Aug 24, 2008 (Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, sweetish nose with notes of dried fruit and brown sugar. Malty, nutty taste with dried fruit, brown sugar and a slightly bittersweet finish. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Nice beer.
