Carton from the 3 judges thanks to Ronnie. Arom is sweeter roasty malt, smokey burnt character, but mainly a small chocolaty sweetness. Taste is similar, with the hops nothing like as dominant as im used to from marble, just bittering. Lacking chocolate and body for me and the bittering hop is slighlty over done.

<b>Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.</b><br />Clear dark red brown color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate - both milk and dark chocolate, licorice, ginger - peppery. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily - smooth, carbonation is flat. ;o)) (020508)

<i>A Mes rate: Gravicask at Reading Beer Festival.</i><br />The cask version of the bottled Chocolate. Not quite so good but it’s still Marble and it’s still well worth a purchase. Black and tan looks. Bitter dark chocolate, roasty malt and dry on the palate. A little thin in the mouth sadly but another quality brew from one of my English favourites.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 11/12/07. Near black with a decent tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted notes and prunes. Easy, smooth drinking with a long dry finish. Very good.
