Cask at Pigs’ Ear 2017. It pours darkest red – brown with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, wood, umami, charred notes, cocoa, burnt fruit cake, leather and dull smoke. The taste is dry, charred wood, earthy roasted malts, stewed plum, date, savoury / umami character, burnt cocoa and liquorice. Finish is dry and toasty. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps could be done with a touch more sweetness, as I am not sure the balance is quite there at the moment. Not bad overall.
