Bottle. Dave’s Knocking Out Cheap Beer Emporium, Sheffield. 5.5%. Clear, dark ruby red. Dense halo of tan head. Chocolate malts. Black cherry. Very vinous. Taste is soft, fruity sweet. Some stone fruit dryness. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Finish has a little bitterness, that sticks around. Other than the mouthfeel, this is fairly decent, especially at a pound fifty a pop.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Label doesn’t specify the hops used in this, so presumably warrants a separate entry. Anyhow, it’s clear amber. Film and halo of sticky, off white head. Nose has grain and some fruit. Taste is soft sweet. Thin body. Too much fizz. Dries out toward the end.

The Pigs Ear wrap up tasting at ChrisO’s. Clear deep red -amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Aged - oxidised tasting malts, a little thin cream. Tangy fruits. Light finish. Curious beer, tastes knackered.
