Bottle at Bruce’s Housewarming Party Tasting, London. Pours rich brown with a strong, creamy beige foam head. Nose holds some overripe berries, dates and figs. Quite a big and sweet flavor with rich bread, dates, brown sugar and touches of alcohol and currants. Medium to full bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Faintly warming to finish with brown sugar, some dark fruits, faint leather, raisins, figs, dates. Not intense depth of character here, but great balance and condition.

Bottle, thanks to Leighton at Bruce’s Housewarming Tasting. It pours dark brown, with a thin off-white head. The nose is caramel, dark fruit (raisin, grape and cherry), oak and leather. The taste is caramel, blueberry, cherry, raisin, wood, slight tanginess, spice and brown sugar. Some underlying alcohol warmth. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good balance. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Pigs Ear 2011, London. Pours dark, pure brown with a creamy white head. Citrus and Christmasy spices in the aroma. Flavor is very sweet, with lots of dark malts, light cocoa, orange and ripe dark fruits. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly warming on the finish with further dark malt character, spices and fruits. A great Christmas beer. The distinct, seasonal-inspired elements of this beer come together incredibly well.
