Gravity Dispense at Pig’s Ear BF, London - 05/12/12. Hazed chestnut brown with a thin off white head that clears to the edge. Nose is bready, dark malt, hops, light rye notes. Taste follows nose, a little toffee and caramel in the mix, rye has a small presence. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Decent enough.

Pigs Ear. Wooden Cask. Light haze on thjis amber beer, residual pale tan head. Smooth palate, medium fine carbonation. Lovely rich dried fruits here, cranberry being obvious. Little woody bitterness and spice. Light dry finish with a woody bitter linger. Very nice indeed. If this is what wooden casks can do, where do I sign up?

500ml bottle shared at our hotel room, from Sourced Market St Pancras. Cloudy golden body, Faint, bubbly white head. Restrained aroma of citrus fruits. Fresh lemony hops in flavour offset by hints of caramel sweetness. Semi-dry ending. Soft in the mouth. Just alright (London, 27.11.2012).
