Pigs Ear 2025. Gravity. Very solid. Quite dry. Lean smokey character, clean pale malts, candied ham. Highly drinkable. Excellent.

Extraordinary large white foamy head on a murky brown coloured body. Pig, oak & smoked aroma. Sweet, woody, pig, grain & smoky tastes. Not for me.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden 22nd April 2023. Deep copper with shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Toasty malt and woodsmoke in aroma. Woodsmoke, smoked sausage and spiciness in-mouth with a smoky malt finish. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Splendid.
