Draft at Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2013 - London. Pours clear, light brown with a mild cream topping. Very basic stuff, somewhat bland. There’s a bit of sweet brown bread here and faint, leafy bitterness. Light in body with soft carbonation. Mildly sweet to finish with earth and leaves and mellow, dusty cocoa. Meh, pretty uninspiring stuff.

Draft at Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2013 - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan head. The nose holds cocoa and soft roast. Light to medium sweet flavor with milk chocolate, subtle earthy bitterness, hints of alcohol. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mellow warmth in the finish with more sugary chocolate light lightly bittersweet baking cocoa. Decent stuff. Glad I got to try it on tap and didn’t have to pay upwards of 20 quid for the bottle. For the record, I do not think this beer will age well.

Cask-conditioned and on gravity at the Beer Emporium, Bristol 7/12/2013. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Fruity porter, with some decent malts and gentle finish. Good.

Pigs Ear. Clear deep amber beer. Light palate, smooth and slightly soft and dry. Light dry malts with mild and unsweet toffee. LIttle dried fruits. A mellow sweetness runs throughout. Light semi dry finish. Not bad but I am getting confused with all these amber porters today!

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’13. thanks to Niall for the split, 03/12/13. Just ever so slightly off black with a good sized frothy tan head. Nose is light roast, dark toffee, earthy, cocoa nibs. Taste comprises rich dark fruits, liqourice, treacle toffee, light booze, rich chocolate. Medium bodied with bite, soft carbonation, dry finale. Decent stuff indeed ! Reading the write up above is rather exhausting - some kind of excuse to charge £18 a bottle - the more words we write, clearly the more exclusive the beer is !?!?

Cask at Pigs Ear 2013. Old gold clear thin off white head. Some malt and candy on the aroma. Almost ginger on the hop on the finish. A little flaccid and dull.

Pigs Ear. The Round Church, Hackney. Cask. Opaque black - brown beer with a small pale cream coloured head. Light palate, semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Nice porter! Rich chocolatey malt, vibrant dark fruits and a whisper of coffee. Finishes light and dry. Very tasty. But if this can be sold at a reasonable price at a fest, why are the bottles so damn expensive?
