Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival, KEGS. Cask. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry and a little crisp. Great condition! Light malt with a trace of toffee - caramel. Light minerals. Dried fruits and light marmalade. A little bitter floral note and a touch of red berries. Finishes dry, crisp and slightly bitter. Nice!

Chelmsford Winter Beer Fest in KEGS. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown - black beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild crispness from decent fine carbonation. Smooth and very mellow dark malts. Whisper of dark chocolate. Nice touches of sweet candy fruits, parma violets and sherbet that blend with the dark malts supremely well. Light finish. Great cask beer!

Pigs Ear. Wooden Cask. Clear dark red beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate is light and a little dry. A perfumey floralness, violets, woody dryness. Little dark fruits. Mellow spice. A touch of candy fruits. This beer is all over the place but in a glorious way! Finishes dry. Complex if a bit dry. Very tasty!

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Light haze on this darkish amber beer. Tidy pale tan head. Light dry palate, fine carbonation. Good malt base with light and bitterish toffee. Mildly citric hops but with robust bitterness. Juicy marmalade underneath and a touch of lemon. A slight dry finish with the bitterness turning pithy.
