Cask gravity at Pigโs Ear Beer Fest 2014. Mahogany brown coloured pour with a fleeting loose light tan head. Aroma is earthy pine needle, orange peel, little presin and brown malt. Flavour is composed of earthy roasty malts, nut malts, medium sweet, light resin. A little citrus in the finish. Decent

Bottle shared by Dutchdrebus @ weekly tasting. Dark brown to black color, medium sized lightly creamy off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Smell just lightly malts and some hops, but that might be the result of a couple of days of extreme pollen allergy. Taste malts, hops, moderately bitter. I miss the roastyness. Maybe thereโs a slight roasty touch in the finish, but I had hoped for more.

Bottle @ home shared by me. Black colour with a small off-white to beige head. Smells slightly hoppy.. Not a lot of smell. Tastes slightly hoppy, sweet, slightly malty. Not what you would expect from a black ipa. Thin body, soft carbo.
