Pig’s Ear Fest. Cask. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth dark malts, mild dark chocolate that is slightly powdery. Generic dark fruits. A light semi dry finish shows a pinch of spice. Nothing here that is not like a thousand other stouts but Round Tower do get a nice smoothness on theirs.
