500ml Bottle conditioned: a present from my son, the last of four beers from this brewery he gave me earlier this year. Gusher, all over the bloody place, still pouring it’s self all over the draining board even as I write this, some foam got into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 25th Nov 2015. Murky brown with a red hue to the body, the foam a tanned fountain of bubbles. Malty and fairly sweet, a slight bittering in the finish. I might have liked this if it hadn’t erupted all over the dining room tablecloth, making me leap up and rush into the kitchen to drink what was left.

Bottle from Kris Wines, Holloway. Pours a reddish-black, no head. Flat body (which I’ve found with a lot of Pitfield brews). Aromas of raisin,rose petals, some coffee, a splash of chocolate. Flavours of coffee, chocolate raisin, roast meats. Very thin indeed. Improves in the mouthfeel which bumps the score up somewhat. Hmm.

500ml bottle conditioned at home on 10th Oct 2015: second beer shared with MarcusM during a random beer tasting evening. Bronze amber pour with a beige head. Hoppy and bitter overall, but with a nod towards malts in the background. Nothing to test your taste buds here, but a decent enough blend. Thanks to my son for giving me this.

500ml bottle conditioned, into a UK pint sleeve at home early on 3rd Oct 2015. Deep, dark ruby hue to the brown body, the head a full and rich tanned blanket of foam. Dark chocolate in the nose and taste, coffee prominent as well in both the aroma and flavour. Fairly smooth for a 4% ABV non-Milk Stout and full of flavour: impressed.

500ml bottle conditioned, poured carefully into a UK pint sleeve at home on 28th Sep 2015: thanks son for this present. Very slight haze in the light ’old gold’ body, the head a deep white blanket of foam. Light malts in the nose, hops ruling the bitter and dry fruity taste. Orange like flavours take over mid-sip before the dry bitterness re-appears in the finish. A bit ’lively’ for a bottle conditioned brew but a decent beer and one I would be happy to try again.

Light haze on this gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light and dry with modest fine carbonation. Dry pale malts. Soap tinged floralness. Trace of fruits. Very dry finish. Not good at all. A worthy cause but a poor beer. Whatever happened to Pitfield?

Cask at Pigs Ear 2014 - London. Pours cloudy yellow with a creamy white head. Huge floral aroma, rose water. Light sweet flavor with dominant rose petals, some lemon zest. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Perfume pervades the finish, with more roses, general flowers. Novel, but that’s it.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’14, day 1, 02/12/14. Murky lemon yellow with moderate off white edgeing. Nose is big Turkish delight perfume, floral, lavendar. Taste comprises sweet melon, floral, more Turkish delight. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close full of sweet perfume. 1 trick novelty pap, could have dumped a load of Turkish delight in any random golden blonde tbh! My fellow raters seem to have picked up a high on the sweet floral nature of this one!
