Cask at Egham United Services Club Easter Beer Festival 2013. A black coloured pour with a small beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate, coffee aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, chocolate, slight coffee. Very tasty indeed.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Crowns, Chippenham 16/2/2013. Almost black in colour with a tight tan head. Aroma of porridge oats, dark chocolate and black coffee. Flavour had plenty more chocolate, a touch of fudge sweetness and more coffee, before a lingering, dry finish. Very good.

Cask-conditioned at the Dorset & Wiltshire beeriodical, the Seven Stars, Bristol 7/1/2013. Deep gold with a slight white head. Aroma of tangerines, pine and bready malts. Flavour had plenty of citrus fruit, a touch of biscuity sweetness and a lingering, dryish finish with more pine in evidence. Very good.

Pigs Ear. Almost clear amber beer, suddy off white head. Light palate, low carbonation. Mild marmalade hops, slightly floral. A little sweetish malt underneath. Light semi dry finish. Decent but could do with some condition.

Pigs Ear. Opaque black brown beer, small pale tan head. Light dry palate. Light touch of the dark malts, a little cream. Just a tiny bit of cherry! Was really expecting more cherry! Semi dry finish. Not bad though!

Cask at Pigs Ear BF 2012, London. Pours dark brown with a fine, tan cream cap. Lightly tangy dark malt aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor with further tangy malts, very little suggestion of fruit. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately dry and roasty to finish with a final kick of tangy, dark malts. Pretty unappealing by and large.

On gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 25/10/2012. Deep gold with a slight white head. Some tropical fruits, sweet cereal malts and a dry, hoppy finish. Good, but didn’t match the high standards set by the same brewery’s triple cherry porter.

On gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 25/10/2012. Dark brown with a touch of deep, cherry pink and slight, off-white head. Aroma of sour cherries, cherry pits and roasted malts, with a hint of sweetness. Flavour had plenty of cherries, sweet up front and tart later on, with a hint of smoke and dry finish. An excellent beer with cherry notes come from so many sources. My beer of the festival.

On gravity at the Three Tuns, Bristol 12/10/2012. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, oranges and grassy hops. Flavour had more sweet fruit, some jaffa cake and a big, very bitter finish. A bit harsh, but ok.
