Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear 2024 - Hackney. Pours deep brown with a bubbly, tan head. Light sweet flavour with very well toasted malts, a little ash and rubber and earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with notes of ash, cocoa and earth. Not bad.

Rocky white head stayed on a cloudy pale golden coloured body. Zesty lemon & bitter aroma. Medium bodied, highly carbonated with a clean dry back. Pale malt, lemon, zesty & grapefruit tastes with a sharp finish. Quaffer.

330ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Pours a sort of amber/mahogany, opaque with a small off-white head. Aroma is boozy dates, figs, some orange peel. Caramel and some coffee. Naked alcohol in the taste, starting sweet but packed with bittering hops which kick in quickly. More caramel and orange in the finish. Thick body, soft carbonation. An unwieldy beast but enjoyable all the same.

28/9/2024. Bottle from Beers of Europe courtesy of Gabor, cheers! Pours clear dark maroon brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is nice subtle Christmas spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried fruits, malts, biscuit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Drying lightly spiced finish. Quite liked it.
