Cask, 4.1%. Almost clear amber colour. The flavour is malty and slightly old-tasting. Even has the tiniest hint of butter. Not as bad as it sounds, though.

Gravity cask at the Pig’s Ear BF 2010. Pours light amber with no head. Aroma holds nuts, malts, and some mild fruits. Flavor is average, with caramel and light malts, then some modest bitterness. Light to medium in body with faint carbonation. A touch syrupy. Normal malt finish with some nuts, light dryness and faint, fruity hops. Nice beer overall, quite drinkable.
