Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours clear oil-amber with a decent white head. The nose is rich, cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee, stewed orange peel, eggnog and caramel. The taste is bitter-sweet, toffee, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, orange peel, kumquat, eggnog and ginger bread with a toasted spice finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Works really well in my opinion. Spiced, yet balanced. Good stuff.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours clear deep brown with a small bubbly beige head. The nose is soft, juicy, woody, charred wood, spice, vanilla, burnt toast, light smoke, toffee and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, bitter, toasted brown bread, umami, spice, varnish, charred notes, some astringency, bourbon oak, leather and some alcohol warmth. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fun to try and good depth, but it is too woody and dry. Not quite sure if the body can carry these flavours.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear orange with a white foam crown. Rich winter spices in the nostrils, some nutmeg, dried berries. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of ginger, pale bread, biscuits. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Moderately sweet at the conclusion, with some ginger snap cookies, more pale bread, cinnamon and nutmeg. Not bad for a spiced winter bitter. Nice one.

On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome). Pours brown with a big and persistent off-white/beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, cappuccino, chocolate, light coffee, good. Flavour is perfectly balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Medoum to light body, light carbonation. Dry and drinkable, amazing!
