Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2015 - London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a light, foamy head. Interesting aroma, fruity, with some strawberry and light vinegar. Medium sweet flavour, syrupy, with notes of cherry cough syrup, and doughy bread. Medium bodied, oily and chewy, with soft carbonation. Sugary sweet finish, with ntoes of cherry candies, pale bread, light tang. Novel, but not great.

Cask at Pigs Ear, 2015. Bright gold pour. Aromas of pink grapefruit, lots of bitter citrus. Medicinal flavours of lemon and grapefruit. Quite a Veno’s cough mixture feel to it. Could certainly provide sound remedy for a cold.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours lightly hazy deep brown with tiny beige head. The nose is warming, woody, varnish, brown bread, umami, spice, earthy toast and mild fruity sweetness.... classic English Strong. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, toffee, fruit cake, raisin, toasted brown sugars, burnt treacle and alcohol heat with a dry, warming finish. Medium+ body, soft carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Pretty decent stuff.

500ml bottle. Clear, dark copper-ish, chestnut colour with small to average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Malty aroma, notes of toffee, a touch of old nougat, hints of dried berries, a woody touch. Taste is dry, malty, slightly woody, nuttily, earthy and fungoid, slightly bitter hints of fruit parings, a touch of toffee and old nougat. Rustic and earthy - not bad.
