Cask (gravity) @ 27th Pigs Ear Beer and Cider Festival 2010, at The Round Chapel in Hackney, London, England

Clear medium to dark amber colour with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toffee, malty. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, toffee, caramel, roasted. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20101201]

On tap at the Draft House in London. Brown color with a thin white head. Aroma was heavy malt. Taste was light and a bit weak. Palate ended bitter. Not great.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 2 (beer #13) on 1 December 2010. Didn’t make much of an impression. A bit of diacetyl. Not great. Probably a bit unfair immediately after the stunning Schlenkerla Eiche. Flagged for re-rate.
