330ml bottle gift from brewer (Jonny) stored since last year - deep brown, short tan head. Lots of boozy toffee, caramel, hint of sweet smoky vanilla, spicy with the hint of woodiness and winter spices. Very nice. Very nice, indeed.

Pigs Ear. Cask. A very light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Good hoppage. Bright semi ripe citrus, resinous tangerine and mandarin, trace of lemon. Crisp pine and a touch of hop spice. Light semi dry finish. Flavoursome!
