Something odd in the aroma I couldn’t place, chips? Batter? Something foody and fatty. Taste was pretty decent though. I liked it, my notes are rubbish. johndoughty (2167), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Bottle. Brown and poured with a medium head. Quite acidic which made enjoyment quite difficult. With a bit of care on the bottling front this might have been a pleasant bitter. fonefan (11888), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2009 A Mes rate. Gravicask at National Winter Ale festival. Dark amber with a faint white head. Decent dark malt aroma but with a hint of chlorine. Thankfully there is none of it in the flavour. Lovely smoky malt with some nice sweet fruit cake. Dry fruity finish. Not bad. imdownthepub (5178), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
