Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear Beer Fest 2014. Clear caramel brown coloured pour with loose cream head. Aroma is hot alcohol, solvent, ribena, berries. Flavour is composed of sweet berries, caramel and toffee malts, unrefined brown sugars. A little hint of cinamon in the finish. Palate is medium sweet, low carbonation.

Cask-conditioned at some pub in Sheffield, 2/12/2014. Mahogany in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sugary sweetness, followed by plum fruit with a slightly vinous edge, which faded away to a gentle finish. Unusual and drinkable.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2014. It pours darkest brown with a tiny white head. The nose is soft, roasty, chocolate, salted caramel, hot cocoa and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, earthy, good bitterness, wood, tar, dried leaves, leather and cocoa with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A quaffable porter says me.

Pigs Ear. Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Semi dry palate with light fine carbonation. Light sweet malt and reasonable citric hops. Whisper of banana ester. Light semi dry finish. Comes together reasonably well.

Pigs Ear. Hazy (fail no 1) gold beer with a little white head. Palate starts smooth but has a light crispness on the back end. Minerals. Light appley fruits, a little tired (fail no 2). So this boastfully titled beer fails on both accounts!
