Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours lightly hazy deep brown with tiny beige head. The nose is warming, woody, varnish, brown bread, umami, spice, earthy toast and mild fruity sweetness.... classic English Strong. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, toffee, fruit cake, raisin, toasted brown sugars, burnt treacle and alcohol heat with a dry, warming finish. Medium+ body, soft carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Pretty decent stuff.
