It was rare for a team on Knightmare to come across a potion that they were supposed to take from a clue room, but not to drink. However, Grimlock is one example. Team 1 of Series 7 picked it up on Level 1, and ended up exchanging it for a spyglass from Rothberry the apothecary.
Grimlock appears to be a reference to a kind of 'monstrous humanoid' from Dungeons & Dragons, one of Knightmare's fantasy forebears (more information is available here). The name may also be an allusion to the poison hemlock. It is disappointing that the Watchers did not see such an intriguingly-named potion taking effect.
