Cask at Pig’s Ear 2017. It pours darkest brown with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, woody, oily, resin, cocoa, coffee cake, dried fruits, some oiliness, brunt fruit cake, must and some barnyard. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, oily, resinous, coffee grounds, chewy malt, dried fruits, alcohol kick, peppery spice, wood and some tannin through the finish. Medium+ body, low carbonation and oily mouth –feel. A bit toothy perhaps. Quite fun for a turbo-mild.

Cask, Handpull at Pig’s Ear 2017. It pours deepest brown – black with a tiny white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, caramel, toffee, something artificial like playdough/plasticine, candied stuff and savoury notes akin to Hoisin duck. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resin, salt & pepper, rather savoury, meaty, oily, Chinese cuisine, charred wood, tar, biscuit and toffee with a dry, tannin finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A particularly weird mix of flavours. I am not sold on this one...
