A luscious jet-black porter infused with an ungodly amount of cinder toffee. This is a beer truly Forged in Fire, from the roasted malts to the heaps of caramel and cinder toffee. Expect a deep and layered porter with notes of espresso, and dark chocolate playing supporting roles to cinder toffee and caramel.

31/1/2024. Cask at the 15th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours black with a frothy beige/grey head. Aroma is toffee, vanilla, roasted malt, milk chocolate, ashy edge. Medium plus sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Nicely done. Shame a 0.5 quick rate drags down its average to 2.77 right now.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Thinnish dark malts, a decent amount of chocolate cakey. A little icing sugar. Light and semi dry finish. Sweet and a little dry but quite tasty.

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2023, day 1 - London. Pours black-brown with a creamy, khaki head. Medium sweet flavour with mellow roast, milk chocolate, vanilla, soft earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Pretty well balanced finish, more chocolate notes, vanilla pods, mild earthy bitterness. Very drinkable.
