3rd December 2025
Keykeg at Pigs Ear. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, modest carbonation. Smooth dark malts. Tons of unsweet maple and a mild earthy coffee. Whisper of something chocolate before an airy and semi dry finish. Too maple for me to really swing with.

Thin brown collar on a near black coloured body - Looks like a can of Coca-Cola.
Coffee, malt & roasted aroma.
Medium bodied, silky with a thinner clean back.
Roasted, nutty, chocolate, coffee & heavy malt tastes with a lighter fruited finish.
Could do with more body & ABV but great taste.

440ml can. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, pineapple, pine. Taste of citrus peel, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, piney resin, pleasant bitterness in the end. Medium bodied. Nice one. Bitterness a bit low if this was meant to be a westie.
I thought "classic IPA" might mean West Coast but this seemed more like one of those "Mountain IPAs", more a hybrid of east and west coast than anything specific... the name makes sense now.
