<i>A Mes rate: Gravicask &#64; Pigs Ear.</i><br />Admittedly this had been sat on the table for a little while by the time I got round to rating it but I really couldn’t find much exciting about it. Dark coppr with no head. Rather sour, off fruit and rather thick and nasty. Not great.

Cloudy amber with No head. Sweet aroma with plums, prunes and caramel notes. Sweet flavor with dark fruits and caramel notes. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.

Bottle, bought &#64; Utobeer Market Stand, London.<br /> Pours red amber with nearly no head. No fizz either. Aroma has caramel and sourish fruits. Nearly no carbonation, rather oily mouthfeel. Flavour is heavily toffee-based, lots of liqourice, port and sugary sweetness. Very weird - more like a mediocre port than a beer.
