Cask gravity at Pigโs Ear 2014. It pours clear deep amber with minimal head. The nose is toasty, porridge, varnish, wood, oiliness and brown bread. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, brown bread, peppery spice, toffee, earth, umami aspect and charred wood. Light-medium body, low carbonation and oily mouth-feel. OK ESB at best, but far from exciting.
