Cask Gravity at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours jet black with a medium bubbly off-white/beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, medicinal, meaty, peated whisky, smoke, earth, wood and roasted malt. The taste is rich roasted malt, charred wood, warming, medicinal, peat smoke, oily, resin, cherry cola, blueberry muffin, tar and boozy heat through the finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and oily mouth -feel. Solid work. I think the Laphroaig is a good step - up from the Irish Pot Swill[sic].

Pigs Ear. Cask. Opaque dark brown beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, light and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Tangy fruits and dark fruits. Spicy smokey peaty whiskey dominates but crucially for me the band aids are not out of control. Smooth spicy finish, long spicy linger. For a peat job - not bad.
