A surprisingly light stout with the aroma of coffee and malt it also has rich liquorish flavours. Good match with most meat dishes but almost a meal in itself!

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear dark amber beer, residual white head. Light palate, semi soft and semi dry. Sulphur on the nose and in the mouth. A jarring juxtaposition of sweet fruits kicks in during the mid. A mess! 1.6

GBBF. Rich malt - a little dry. Nice subtle dried fruits with a whisper of red berries. Dry finish. A lot better than Pigs Ear but still not the greatest.

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Hazy mahogany colour. Aroma of rotting eggs. Sweetish and fruity with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Overwhelming flavour of sulhur and egg fart. Eh...

Bottle from Humpers of Staple Hill. Cola coloured with no head and slight carbonation. Sweet roasted malts, tropical fruit and chocolate aroma. Light mouth feel, with flavours of caramel, honey and coffee, leading to a dryish finish. Good.
