Pigs Ear Day 4. Cask. Clear amber - brown beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is fairly dry with modest carbonation. Tangy fruits and unsweet maple. Touch of wood. Light semi dry finish. A bit on the odd side.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015 - London. Pours clear red-brown with a light, frothy tan head. Muddled aroma, some light earth and burnt grains. Light sweet flavour with some woody notes, molasses, earthy bitterness. Light in body with fine carbonation; OK condition. Moderately drying to finish, with some dried fruits, more earth and molasses. Just about OK.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015 - London. Pours deep brown with a creamy khaki head. The nose holds tangy dark fruits, iodine, scorched earth, slight rubber. Medium to heavy sweet flavor, with some chocolate, more tangy dark fruits, ash, licorice. Medium to full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Rich finish, with ripe dark fruits, more chocolate, more ashy roast. Novel, and not bad.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours murky brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, earthy, decent roast, charred wood, lemon sherbet, tangy dark fruits and a touch of apple pie. The taste is bitter-sweet, sticky, umami, toasted wood, Rocky Road, dark fruits, chocolate, oily, chewy malt and light acidity with alcohol warmth through the finish. Medium - full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Big and boosty. Punchy, but I like it.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours oily black with a creamy, beige head. The nose holds tangy dark fruits, light chocolate, wood, earth. Hugely sweet, viscous, with more dark fruits, oil, cherry, cocoa. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sticky-sweet, with burnt dark sugars, brown sugar, ripe dark fruits. Full-on stuff. Pretty interesting, and certainly not lacking for depth of character. But balanced, it is not.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose gives off a healthy impression of vibrant hops - peach, melon, orange. Moderately sweet, with more peach, nectarine, mandarin orange, pale malts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance in the finish, lots more citrusy hops. Very good stuff.
