Tap - once again, Hogshead makes a brown that I not only find drinkable, butreally enjoy - combines a nice toffee sweetness with a balancing mineral bite, moderate mushroomy earthiness, a touch of leather and smoke - moderate bitterness and toasty malts - lightly peaty finish - excellent brown.

Dark brown, light chocolate character, touch of almost crackerlike malt. Very sweet, extra chocolatey, a lot of alcohol too. A big rich beer, ok, with no real nuance.

Golden-amber with a little bit of haze. Lots of blueberry on the nose, something I don’t normally associate with EKG. Light touch of caramel in the malt signature. The palate is light, sweet, not that much character actually. Would like to try this w/o the sparkler. A bit heavy for cask, though.

Hazy dull tan. Aroma is really fruity, lots of pear, light apple, too. Sweet, a bit syrupy, quite estery, Honestly I’m not sure what to make of that one. Odd brew.

Cask - Fruity, plum, raisin and dark fruit, cloudy brown with a huge white head. Creamy dark fruit. Stunning, these guys rock. Nice big flavours in a subtle package. A little flowery and couldn’t drink a lot, but the one was the bees knees.

Draft - he topped it with something special, so not pure. Chocolaty biscuit. Jet black with a rich beige head. Dark roast malts, chocolate and more of that biscuit. Chocolate Peek Freen.

Bubbly head, light amber, just a touch of haze. Aroma is actually not strong, light, lacks bitterness, but the hops are just fruity and the slightly doughy pale malts are probably the best thing about it. Ok, but I was disappointed by this one.
