Cask at Ales & Tails, Twickers, 11/01/14. Clear copper with a good sized light beige head that thins to a covering then stays for the party. Nose is candied sugars, caramel malt, spice, tropical fruit notes, nutty tones. A rich caramel vein pulses through this beer, light spice, candied oranges, red grapefruits, candied sugars, malty notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, lightly drying closure laced with subtle spice rubbings. Really decent drop - almost an American take in being a hopped up tropicalised ESB with a pinch of spice, wish all ’Xmas’ beers were this good !

Draft at Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2013 - London. Pours clear brown with a mild, tan head. Restrained aroma, some faint dark fruits, light roast. Light to medium sweet flavor with dried fruits, mellow cocoa, dirt, dry torched wood. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, light chocolate, hints of wood. I wonder if this is the oak cask? Anyway, tasty stuff.

Wooden cask at Pig’s Ear 2013. It pours clear amber with a small beige head. The nose is wood, varnish, spice, light sulphur and light berry notes. The taste is wood, earth, citrus, sherbet, more wood, burnt toffee and toast with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Not a whole lot going on. So-so.
