Cask at The Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Deep mahogany with a ring of translucent head; earthy, oaty aroma; sweet oaty taste with some dark treacle giving body, but rather thin overall - needs more body, but otherwise quite drinkable.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2014. It pours dark brown with tiny beige head. The nose is earthy, roasted malt, cocoa, toasty grain and dirt. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasted stuff, earth, dry cocoa, dirt, dark fruits and caramel with a drying finish. Medium body and lowsih carbonation. Not a whole lot to it, but certainly not unpleasant.

Earl of Essex. Lightly hazy deep red - amber beer, no head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest crispness from mild fine carbonation. Super mild dark malts and a whisper of roast. Mild ripe fruits. Light finish. Not getting any chocolate here, just a trace of malt cream sweetness. Very light porter.

Cask at the Earl of Essex, 19/11/14. Clear chestnut brown with no head, looks lifeless, not a looker - rare sub 3 appearance rating! Nose is earthy roast, toffee, faint chocolate. Taste comprises light biscuit, hint of roast, chocolate, toffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light roast and twigs in the close. Basic and dull, not in the best of shape.

Cask at the Earl of Essex - London. Pours clear brown with very little head. The aroma has notes of toasted bread, grains and slight cocoa. Light sweet flavor with a damp wood aspect, some vague cocoa, toast, earth; but all a bit watery. Light bodied and flat; the condition is poor. Mildly sweet on the finish with more toasted grains, cocoa, wet and mouldy earth, rotten wood, slight leathery berries. Not excellent.
