Aug 18, 2008 Cask, Beamish Mary, No Place, Co Durham. Very dark brown, near enough black with a thin biege head. Aroma was sweetish with roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavour was something similar. Solid and drinkable, but a little diappointing overall.

Feb 13, 2008 Cask @ Winter BF Manchester. Deep amber with no head. Nose of apple, caramel and malt. Tastes of roast malt, coffee, cocoa and some fruity hints. Average.

Jan 22, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at Manc Winter Fest.
Dark dark brown with just a slight white rim. Aroma of coffee, malt and dark fruit. Flavour is more of the same and a little straight forward. Nice earthy finish with some eventual bitterness from some balancing hops. A reasonable porter but I would expect a little better from this brewer.

Odd, this was more of a mild to me. A full bodied and aromatic mild, but still mild. Roasted grains to the fore. Competent as a porter, but not exceptional.

Oct 3, 2007 They’re good with dark malts those guys. Dark brown pour appears quite headless. Kinda rich, appetizing, earthy liquorice nose with dates flavours that I truly dig. Medium-bodied, soft palate displaying appealing fruitiness and a nice toasty/roasty blend. Excellent balance.
