Wheat based Porter. Black in appearance with a bright white head, just like the historic attires of the Pearly Queens of East London past. Smooth drinking with a roasted malt and dried fruit flavour.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours hazy deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, earthy, salted caramel, tangy dark fruits, coffee, oiliness and some meat. The taste is toasty, bitter, earthy, charred wood, oily, toffee and salted caramel with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Overall not bad.
