Pigs Ear Fest. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, patchy pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Mellow malts, some dark malt character. Little caramel sweetness. Crystallised orange and mild chocolate. Dry finish shows some powdery dark chocolate. Nice enough.

On tap at the Brewhouse, Islington, 11/2015. Poured cloudy golden orange colour with a small lasting off white head. Aroma of pumpkin, and spice. Thin body, texture watery but also a bit sticky. Nice aroma but overall didn’t feel this really worked. Least favoured of the 6 tried.
