Oct 25, 2005 [Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy dark amber beer with a small off-white lazing head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted bread, and a bitter hoppy quite dry end. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Dec 19, 2008 Cask in 2005, unsure if I had it in Stockholm or Helsinki, as this is between Stockholm marked notes and a Helsinki trip in the autumn 2005. Nutbrown colour with minor head. Aroma is yeast, hops as well as some mild nuts. Flavour is nuttyness as well as some grassy hops. Dry palate. Probably left unrated in the times, as my notes say Fullers Sir Harry and marked 5%...

Nut brown with small tanned head. Flowery hoppy nose. Typical pale ale/bitter real ale: flowery English hops with some chocolaty and roasted notes. Good session beer but nothing so special.

Oct 1, 2007 A Mes rate:
Gravicask at St. Albans Beer Festival. Toffee brown with no head. Dull malt and caramel with no balance and absolutely nothing to get excited about.

Oct 24, 2004 Cask@The Mawson Arms (Fullers Brewery), Chiswick, London. Quite liked it. Has the typical smooth Fullers mouthfeel. Got some nice flavours out of this. HOney, toffe/caramel, nuts, slightly toasted malt, wholemeal bread. Light lemony finish, with a good amount of bitterness. Also a bit salty, pretty good on cask

Feb 13, 2008 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival, September 2007. I had missed this on its previous, occasional, appearances (it can be very difficult to establish where the Fullers occasional beers will be available and when) so was quite glad to get the opportunity to bag it here. Turned out to be pretty much what I expected. Mid copper colour. Nutty malt and sweetish fruit dominate. Mouthfeel is fairly fat and toffee accented. There are some earthy hops skulking around but they don’t really impose themselves assertively until the very last knockings. This leads to an undeniably Autumnal but rather too smooth (for my taste at least) overall experience. Worthy but short on excitement.
