Cask at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours dark brown with a medium white head. The aroma is toasty, earthy, wood, cocoa, earth and dried fruits. The taste is bitter - sweet, dried fruits, earthy, toasty, charred wood, twiggy, leather and ash with a drying and woody finish. Not exactly a contemporary feeling black IPA, more of a bitter stout. Pretty ho hum stuff.

Cask Gravity at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh ginger, oily, peppery heat, ginger sting, fruit cake and some oiliness. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, chewy malt, resin, plenty of peppery ginger, grass, ginger & lemon tea and some oiliness with a drying finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Not a great idea for a beer, but it is just about OK.
