Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear 2011, London. Pours dark brown with a large, bubbly, off-white foam head. Aroma holds some dry, dusty roast. Flavor is lightly sweet with an interesting bread character. Perhaps rye or some other grains. Faint roast, some dark sugars. Light bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Sweet finish, dark malts, whole grain bread, toasted malts. Very enjoyable and interesting mild.

Prominent bitterness in the ale with subtle hints of fruit in a slightly less than full body.

On tap in Wigan. Golden colour with a white head. It looked ok. Fruity nose. So it smelled ok also. But this is probably one of the worst beers I have ever tasted. Luckily enough only a half pint. One zip and that was it. Flat and sweeeeet.

Third-pint of this strong beer pulled from cask at GBBF 2011. Clear and bright surface to a jet black body. Dark malty nose added by anise. Comprehensive taste profile of dark caramel, bready malts, chocolate, and even a note of coffee. Some peaty hints as well. Feels flat in the mouth. Good, but heavy to drink ( Earls Court, London 02.08.2011).

Cask @ GBBF, 2011. Pours black with a creamy head and lacings. Roast, fruit, ashes and espresso - complex and nice. Oily, slick and roasted. Some liquorice and a bit of warmth from alcohol. Smooth. Nice.
