Pigs Ear. Very dark brown beer, clear at the edges. Light palate. Seems like a porter to me! Light tangy malt - and err no real chocolate. Finishes light and with more porter like tang. Not bad but way to miss your own beer title!

Cask@Old Bank, Turku. Quite much pitch black colour, mediumsized longlasting brown head. Aroma is chocolate, mild coffee, some roasted malts and also dark dry fruits. Flavour is quite much the same. A very pleasantly balanced stout.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Bit of a disappointment really as I love this brewery and they normally produce really good tasty beers. Black with ruby edges. It’s disappointing, like a watered down porter with only some choc, definitely not double choc.

(Cask at Angleterre) Poured almost black with medium sized and light brown head. Aroma contained coffee, chocolate and roastedness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, coffee, roastedness, chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste was almost acrid and roasty.

Cask at Pigs Ear beer festival, London 2009. Deep ruby coloured pour with beige head. Chocolate aroma. Roasty, chocolaty, sweet taste. Easy drinking, pleasant chocolate stout from Dark Star.
