In collaboration with Truman's Brewery Brewed at their brewery in Hackney Wick with Truman's Head Brewer Ben Ott. Brewing this beer was great fun and the original 20BBL run was repeated three times over the run up to Christmas to keep up with demand.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Almost clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry with a light crispness. The malts are a little sweet, balanced by bitterish citric peel. Little spice, not overdone. Dried fruit sweetness before a light semi dry finish. Prett tasty.
