Cask at Pig’s Ear. It pours clear deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, rich coffee character, earthy roast, mild acidity and a touch of peppery spice. The taste is rich, earthy, bitter, big coffee vibe, coffee cake, toasty action, light acidity and a hint of astringency with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A simple, but not unenjoyable coffee-driven beer.
