Pigs Ear. Opaque dark brown beer. No head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate. Tangy dark malts and a touch of dark fruits. Bitter roast and a little coffee. Finishes dry with a whisper of ash. Found this a bit chewy.

Pigs Ear. As ’Hopslinger Black IPA - Summit & Amarillo’. Light haze on this dark brown beer, little pale tan head. Light dry palate. Good fine carbonation. Very mild dark malts with mellow dark chocolate and lactose. Little dark fruits. Light piney hops. Comes together well before a semi dry finish.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’13, 05/12/13. Mid black with a thin tan covering. Nose is roast malt, liqourice, light spice, dark toffee, chocolate. Taste comprises earthy cocoa, a touch lactic, tangy dark berry fruits, earthy. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry closure. So so affair, drinkable but doesn’t deliver much and sub par for the style.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’13, 05/12/13. Light black with a moderate tan covering that clears to a swirl. Nose is dank hops, earthy cocoa, liqourice, light tropical fruits. Taste comprises bitter hops, light pine, cocoa powder, tropical fruits, earthy feel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry conclusion with a touch of lingering hop bitterness. Ok CDA, drinkable, but sub par for the style - lacks some punch.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2013. It pours near black with pretty much no head. The nose is rich roast, coffee, oily, earth, dirt, toffee and tangy dark fruit. The taste is earth, roasty, toast, spice, medicinal, light tang, coffee, citrus peel, chewy malt and plenty of booze. Full body and soft carbonation. A bit chewy and tough going considering its only 7%.... Ok.
