We've loaded this dark beauty with 9 malts to give it a deep complex yet very deliciously balanced character. There is a harmony of chocolate, coffee and dark fruit wrapped up in this super dark and super drinkable stout.

Pigs Ear Fest. Cask. Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Rich if thin dark malts, powdery dark chocolate. Mild malt cream. Little tangy dark fruits. Light dry finish. Dark chocolate linger. Just another stout really, tad richer than the crowd.

Cask at the brewery taproom. Pours deep brown with a lasting, foamy khaki head. Then nose gives away light roast, milk chocolate, earth, cocoa. Light-medium sweet flavor with decent mocha character, some coffee grounds, baking cocoa, scorched earth, dry wood. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; pretty good condition. Lightly drying in the close, with some bittersweet baking cocoa, scorched earth, dried chocolate bar, bitter earth, toasted grass. Pretty solid overall.
