Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Goldeny amber colour with a small head. Aroma is alcohol, fruits, caramel and some mild spicy and herbal notes as well. Flavour is quite much the same. Balanced, but at the sametime the alcoholic sting gives a big warming feeling.

500 ml bottle, from The Cheese & Wine Shop, Darlington. ABV is 8.3%. Amber colour, large to moderate off-white head. Aroma of "dusty" malts, toffee and caramel, also dark dried fruits and some vinous notes. Smooth mouthfeel. The flavour has malts, caramel and dark dried fruits, also vinous hints with oak. Moderate hops. Easy drinking for its strength. Would buy again.

Cask at GBBF whilst walking around with Ang’ Tuesday 9th August (Trade Day) 2016 Hazy amber in colour this tastes sweet, it’s flat and really dull, not really sure how this can be so lifeless and dull on day one of a beer festival but it is. A5 A3 T5 P3 Ov10 2.6 Cask at NWAF, Manchester, 21.01.11 Pours a warm gold colour some bubbles but very good clarity. Bit chewy with loads of vanilla coming through, sweet with a load of maltiness its ok but a bit hard work at times. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Hazy reddy orange colour with a dissipating thin beige head. Very fruity aroma, amidst which I detected notes of strawberry and nutmeg. Flavour was sweetish yeasty and full bodied. Interesting and quite enjoyable. I dig this style.
