A full bodied ruby hued, bittersweet ale with a thin cream head, aromas of toffee, dark chocolate and tobacco with an earthy lightly spiced toffee and caramel flavour. An obvious go-to beer when you want a break from hop bitterness but need a beer lighter than a stout.

Gravity Dispense at Pig’s Ear BF, London - 05/12/12. Hazed chestnut brown with a thin off white head that clears to the edge. Nose is bready, dark malt, hops, light rye notes. Taste follows nose, a little toffee and caramel in the mix, rye has a small presence. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Decent enough.

Pigs Ear. Hazy amber beer, residual off white head. Light dry palate. Mildly nutty malts - dry. Dried fruit hops. Trace of lactose and a little squirt of lemon in the dry finish. Not getting much rye here. Fine, but run of the mill. 2.8

Pigs Ear. Wooden Cask. Light haze on thjis amber beer, residual pale tan head. Smooth palate, medium fine carbonation. Lovely rich dried fruits here, cranberry being obvious. Little woody bitterness and spice. Light dry finish with a woody bitter linger. Very nice indeed. If this is what wooden casks can do, where do I sign up?

Cask at Pigs Ear BF 2012, London. Pours clear ruby-red with a creamy, tan cap. Toasty bread aroma with burnt pine and light, ripe berries. Light to medium sweet flavor with a bit of juicy, ripe citrus, rich pine, toast, light leaves. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Very mellow resinous finish with ripe citrus and toasty malts. A solid beer all around.
