Pigs Ear Day 1. Cask. Almost clear dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Dry bitter tangy dark malts, touch of coffee. A little dark fruits. Dry finish. Just another porter.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, sweet roast, umami, earth and salted liquorice. The taste is toasty, bitter-sweet, umami, salted liquorice and toasted sesame with a short, dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps a touch too savoury. Not a whole lot to it. OK.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy, off-white head. Decent dark malt character, some dried berries, other leathery fruits, subtle earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation; pretty good condition. OK balance on the finish, some sweet bready malts, more dried out fruits, berries. Tasty beer.
