Bottle at LKS. It pours black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, smoke, dirt, phenolic, medicinal, Islay lols and rocky road. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty, earthy, charred wood, oily resin, rocky road, spice, warming, spice, medicinal, burnt action with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Fair. A bit weird, but not bad for what it is (but I doubt this is what they were aiming for).

Bodney Towers sharebottle. Thanks to Leighton. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Soft dark malts, little chocolate. An unpleasant burned vibe, some skunk too. Tangy fruits maybe. Soft finish. Unpleasant!

Bottle shared in Hackney - picked up at Pigs Ear. Pours deep brown with a small, foamy tan head. Odd aroma, some burnt carpets, leathery berries, a little manure, cocoa. Medium sweet flavour with further manure, bitter cocoa, alcohol, more berries, ash. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with ashy bitterness, a little chlorine, baking cocoa, scorched earth. Not great.

Pigs Ear BF. Unfined version. Ripe fruit - banana - aroma. An opaque ambet. A few white bubbles. Sweet with some hints of bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Slick, pithy. Soft carb. Middling finish? Golden Ale? Fruity and pleasent. Not too bad.
