Aug 16, 2007 Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Black, virtually no head. Yes it’s got choc, but it’s a fairly unremarkable USA porter. Lacks intensity, except on a tingly finish. Not great.

Aug 13, 2007 bottle poured a almost black brown in color with some slow carbination and a barely covering layer of foam in the glass. smell is coffee, molasses, chocolate, and malts. taste is thin and held together with the malt but does not offer the coffee and chocolate the smell would suggest. very mild and lacking any bitter taste, good for drinking a few and reasonably priced but not to go out of the way for. i must admit i generally don’t care much for the red hook beers.

Aug 12, 2007 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2007. A black coloured beer with beige bubbles around the edge. The aroma is hoppy with some light roast, a little sourness and some chocolate. The taste is light roasty with some smoke. Very mild and a tad thin, but drinkable for sure.

Gravicask at GBBF. Lovely aroma. Milky sweet porter with some slight alcohol. Black-ish colour with no head at all. Dull flavour with some malt but no real character. Not roasty or bitter enough for me. Roll on.

Aug 5, 2007 Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a thin, off-white head. The aroma is strong with toffee and malts with hints of chocolate, caramel, and molasses. The flavor starts with lots of chocolate and toasted bread. The middle of the tongue detects a nice, balancing dose of hops and hop bitterness. The finish is somewhat dry and bittersweet. The mouthfeel is medium in body and is both creamy and tingly from the carbonation. Overall, not bad.
