Jan 7, 2008 This was a nice surprise. The cork exploded out of this thing and poured a dark but clear red-brown with large head that eventually completely disappeared. Spicy aroma with some tart cherries. The palate is pretty nice with a lot of soft carbonation. The flavour is light at first but a lot of spice and semi sour cherry and some funk.

Dec 9, 2007 A Mes rate: Gravicask @ Pigs Ear.
Vivid orange brown with lots of cake and spice plus some sulphur in the background. The brewers characteristic yeast is very evident in the flavour along with plenty more cake and some extra sweetness from god knows what. Run of the mill but I enjoyed it more than Ian and Mark.

Dec 8, 2007 Bottled at Pigs Ear. Served way too cold and we didn’t have the patience to let it warm up enough. Amber coloured with a little ring of off-white bubbles. The aroma is a little sweet with some caramel notes. The taste has caramel in a bag of yeastiness. Way way overcarbonated and hence a struggle to get through.

Dec 8, 2007 75cl bottle at Pig’s Ear BF 08. Deep russet with thin beige head. It’s got some red berry fruit, bit of stale malt which is unfortunate. Gets better, bit too carbonated, bit too cold.
