Pigs Ear Day 1. Cask. Clear deep amber, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth. Mild fine carbonation. Tangy but light malts, thin cream. Mild bourbon soaked fruits. Mild vanilla. Ripe fruits. Pinch of spice. Light finish. Pretty tidy. Beers don’t have to be huge go have a nice bourbon touch.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours clear deep brown with a small bubbly beige head. The nose is soft, juicy, woody, charred wood, spice, vanilla, burnt toast, light smoke, toffee and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, bitter, toasted brown bread, umami, spice, varnish, charred notes, some astringency, bourbon oak, leather and some alcohol warmth. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fun to try and good depth, but it is too woody and dry. Not quite sure if the body can carry these flavours.
