A rich, dark, oatmeal porter with a silky mouthfeel. Matured for longer to produce a greater depth of flavour and balance. We also add whiskey barrel chunks at the very end of fermentation to give the beer a very light background note.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is smooth and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Roasty dark malts, little coffee and modest dark chocolate. Light dry roasty finish. Slightly above the crushingly odinary stouts on offer today but really not by much.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2017. It pours deep brown – black with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, earthy roasted malts, umami character, charred wood, liquorice and ash. The taste is dry, pretty bitter, earthy, charred wood, umami, liquorice, peppery spice, leather, roasted malt and a touch of dark fruit. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent enough stuff.
