Stretching their 1.5 barrel brewhouse to its maximum it really is a very special brew, with 3 casks going to beer festivals and only a couple pins allocated to the Brewery Tap Room.
An 8% ABV Export Porter brewed with just water, Cotswold Barley, hops and yeast, it is rich, indulgent and very special.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Hazy amber beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft dry malts, some richness. A little earthiness and some soft ripe fruits. Dry finish. Really does not feel like an EIP but it's okay.
