Bottle @Bir&Fud Bottega (Rome). Pours deep brown/reddish with a little head. Aroma of caramel, dried fruits, cherry, vinous touch, amazing! Flavour is balanced, sweet and malty with a bitter/sourish end. Full body, medium to light carbonation. A great barley wine!

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours clear deep red with pretty much no head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, faruit cake, varnish, cola ice lolly, spice and tangy dried fruits. The taste is slick, rich, bitter-sweet, spicy, dark fruits, fruit cake, cola ice lolly, and some alcohol warmth with a slick finish. Very reminiscent of Rum & Coke in my opinion! Medium body, low carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Weird, but overall not bad.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours cloudy light golden yellow with a decent white head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, grassy, quite herbal, smoked cherry, air freshener, chalk and sweat. The taste is bitter, minerals, chalk, grass, floral, herbal, sweet orchard fruits and lemon & ginger tea. Medium body and fine carbonation. A touch unbalanced, but pretty interesting stuff. OK.

Gravity at Pigs Ear ’15, 01/12/15. Rich amber orange with little in the way of a head. Nose is caramel, floral notes, light spice, bitter fruit. Taste comprises herbal notes, peppercorns, tangy fruit, aniseed. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Average stuff ... delivers little on the ABV offered.
