Brewed in collaboration with our local CAMRA branch as a special for our launch this is a BIG beer. 9 malts, U.S. hopped and with the addition of brown sugar for added complexity this is a huge boozy beast of a beer. Incredibly complex with liquorice, toffee, chocolate and coffee but still beautifully balanced. This is a very occasional brew, but one well worth seeking out when we do brew it.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours murky darkest brown with decent beige head. The nose is sweet, sticky, Dandelion & Burdock, cherry, fruit cake, stewed fruits, sticky fruits, burnt toast and charred wood. The taste is bitter-sweet, charred wood, sticky, Eccles cake, burnt toast, mild acidity, warming alcohol and peppery spice. Medium body and fine carbonation. Slightly charred/burnt, but pretty nice overall.

Gravity at Pigs Ear ’15, 01/12/15. Black with an attractive tan head. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, floral notes, earthy hop. Taste comprises toffee fudge, sweet vibes, chocolate malt drink. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough porter, hides the ABV well but could equally argue that it doesn’t deliver the depth this ABV warrants and a touch overly sweet at times.
