Cask at Pigs Ear 2016 - London. Pours black-brown with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma holds nice roast, citrusy hops, suggestions of cocoa. Light sweet flavor with some dusty cocoa, low roast, dried dark fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Somewhat dry in the finish, with more toasted malts, baking cocoa, scorched earth and dried berries. Pretty good stuff.

Cask at PE 2016. It pours cloudy black with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, berry, jammy fruits, candy, fruit cordial and blueberry pie. The taste is smooth, bitter, toasty, berry skin, fruit pie, charred earth, umami, ash, leather and peppery spice with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad for a fruity mild.
