Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and straw, leading to a dry finish. The body is light - must have a low final gravity.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear dark amber beer, residual white head. Light palate, semi soft and semi dry. Sulphur on the nose and in the mouth. A jarring juxtaposition of sweet fruits kicks in during the mid. A mess! 1.6

GBBF. Rich malt - a little dry. Nice subtle dried fruits with a whisper of red berries. Dry finish. A lot better than Pigs Ear but still not the greatest.

Bottle in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, shared with Dimo, Penka, Lyoli, grandma Elena, Ivanka and Nora. Pours cloudy, light brown with a foamy, white head. Rich, malty aroma filled with alcohol-soaked fruits. Flavor is plenty sweet, with lots of bread, toasted sugar, ripe fruits, light booze. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly warm finish, toasted sugar, faint honey, rich bread, light cake, light alcohol, light woody bitterness. Lingering sugary malts. Decent English strong.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Copper coloured with next to no head. Sweet, toffee and red fruit aroma with a touch of English hops. Flavour was also sweet, with plenty more fruit, a suggestion of spice and bitter finish, with the alcohol prominent. Fine.

Cask at Pigโs Ear Beer Festival, London. Hazy mahogany colour. Aroma of rotting eggs. Sweetish and fruity with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Overwhelming flavour of sulhur and egg fart. Eh...
