Gravity at Pigs Ear ’15, 01/12/15. Black with an attractive tan head. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, floral notes, earthy hop. Taste comprises toffee fudge, sweet vibes, chocolate malt drink. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough porter, hides the ABV well but could equally argue that it doesn’t deliver the depth this ABV warrants and a touch overly sweet at times.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. Rich hop aroma, lots of papaya, melon and mango. Medium sweet flavor, nicely resinous, with fresh and lightly raw hop character, more mango, some peach, orange, melon. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Resinous and lightly warming in the ending, with more fresh and juicy hops, citrus, some tropical aspects. Very, very good. Great stuff.

Keg at Beer in Hand, Hereford, Saturday 31st October 2015. A little dusty hop at first but this soon opens up to be a decent hoppy APA, furry bitterness across the roof of the mouth and a lingering dry finish. Soft in the mouth, some hard lemon pithiness, it’s good, but there is still a little dusty hop, however this does little to temper my enjoyment, a fine beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask at Beer in Hand, Hereford, Saturday 31st October 2015. Hazy dark gold light amber with a wispy white head. Bittersweet with a dry edginess, hoppy a little tropical. Enjoyed this but could have done with a more fruity punch and been a touch sweeter A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
