2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival (Day 2) on 7 December 2011. Dark amber colour. Not much head or condition. Rather clammy malty aroma. Soft on the palate although there is a touch of late spicy bitterness. Mouthfeel is a little soapy. Nothing too interesting here. Didn’t even realize it was supposed to be a bock-style beer and it certainly didn’t come across much like one, not to mention being rather low in ABV for that.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Fest 2011. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is buttery, mild nuttyness as well as some slight sweetness. Flavour is nutty, bitter hops, some caramel and crystal malts as well. Also some mild notes of alcohol (so is it really 4.5%, as the Pigs Ear Fest program said? Not sure it’s a real bock either...)
