Cask at Pig’s Ear beer festival 2011 last December. An amber/red coloured pour with a small white head on top. Tastes quite hoppy, citrus fruit, slightly bitter. Reasonably good IPA but not mind blowing.

Bottle at home in London. Pours opaque black with a moderate, tan head. I had to pour with quite a bit of vigor to coax some life into this fella. Nice, very dark malt aroma, some filter coffee, roasted cocoa, peat, liqueur. Interesting flavor. Not nearly as intense as I had expected. Some dry, roasty malts, leathery fruits, light grass, fire-kissed wood, burnt bread. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. There’s a bit more bitterness in the finish, a lightly grassy, peaty, roasty bitterness, with moderate sweetness, some dark berries, faint warmth but very little alcohol presence. A surprisingly quick finish, very little lingering around here. Some light peat and tobacco, faint grass - that’s about it. A very drinkable imperial stout. Not bad at all.
