37,5 cl Bottle vintage 2008 as ”Organic Pitfield’s 1890 Stock Ale” @ Gallows Bird ⅩⅦ Real Ale Festival, BBE 12/2015
Aroma has lots of toffee typical to Engilish ales. Also some honey and hints of plastic glue. Flavour has ’cold’ moldy cellar notes, some toffee, alcohol, sweetish apples, some raisins and distant pear notes. Also some dried fruits. Finishes with some English hops and toffee. A feeling of a ’beer too old’ here. Interesting. Adding the yeast makes this a bit more messy and bitter.

Draft at Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2013 - London. Pours hazy brown with a mild, creamy head. Doughy, dark bread in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with toasted bread, milk chocolate and light green pepper. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to end, with more toasty bread and faint chili spice in the throat. Nicely balanced for a chili beer.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear, 03/12/13. Murky light black with a thin tan covering. Nose is dark malt, light roast, spice. Taste carries more depth, dark chocolate, subtle chilli kick, light roast, brown sugats, dark toffee fudge. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light chilli and green pepper kick in the finale with a little spiced heat. Ok.

Pigs Ear. Almost opaque deep red - brown beer. Tidy bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth with modest carbonation. Smooth malt with a well integrated vanilla and cinnamon. The cinnamon is cool and never harsh or bitter. Light touch of dark fruits. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Not bad at all.

Pigs Ear. Murky dark brown beer. Residual bubbly tan head. Palate is smooth with light fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts and a touch of dark toffee. Light fruits, well buried. The chilli provides a mellow heat and a little vegetable - fruitiness. Not bad, thought it would blow my noggin off but this was sensibly done.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2013. It pours near black with a minimal head. The nose is ripe brie, cheesy, earth, funk, dirt, roast and cocoa. The taste is rich, oily, roasty, toasty, mild acidity, spice, earth, toffee, cocoa and dark fruit. Full body, soft carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Smells a bit ripe, but its smooth and dangerously drinkable...
