Chelmsford Winter Beer Fest at KEGS. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is smooth, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. A little smoke in the dark malts, touch of tangy dark chocolate. Spicy dark fruits. Floral bitterness blossoms before a dry finish. Bitter floral linger. Interesting.

Cask Gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours deep red-brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, caramel, liquorice, umami and some bitter-sweet Dandelion & Burdock. The taste is bitter, toasty, quite soft, umami, earthy roast, light ash, sweet dried berries, nuts and Eccles cake. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fairly average.

Chelmsford Summer Beer Festival. Lightly hazy gold beer, no head. Palate is light with very modest carbonation. The pale malts are clean but not that sweet. Mild marmalade citrus before a smooth semi dry finish and a mellow bitter linger. Standard golden in not the best shape.
