24-27/10/2023. From the wood at the 45th Norwich Beer Festival. Pours clear bright amber bronze with a small bubbly off-white head. Good looking beer. Aroma of caramel, malt, citrus, leaves, light spice, light developing woodiness. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Oily, average to soft carbonation. Dry woody finish. Quite decent.

Wooden cask at the 31st Ealing Beer Festival, Walpole Park, 15/07/22. Golden copper with a white head. Nose is mellow fruits, vinous, oak, herb, straw. Taste comprises wooded notes, caramel, spruce, earthy fruits, biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough bitter ... not sure the wood is lifting it from the base beer tbh.

Pigs Ear. Wooden Cask. Pretty much a clear amber beer, few pale cream coloured bubbles, not really making it as a head. Light semi dry palate with mild fine carbonation. Generic fruits. A touch of spice and mellow vanilla-wood. Little orange marmalade before the semi dry finish. Well this is really rather nice! Nice contrast between the vanilla and marmalade.
