Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2017 - London. Pours deep brown with a small, bubbly off-white head. Good snout, dark malts, dried berries, hints of cocoa, licorice. Light to medium sweet flavour with some ashy roast, baking cocoa, more old berries and leather, some smoke. Medium bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Good balance at the close, with further restrained smoke, burnt marshmallows, leathery berries, baking cocoa. Pretty fun, pretty dynamic. I like it.
