Pigs Ear. Clear dark brown beer. Good sized pale cream coloured head. Light smooth palate. No carbonation. Dry. Very dry! Smooth dark chocolate - powdery. The fruit is saccahrin sweet and is err - apple! There is a little orange as well! Dry finish. Too dry and way to appley!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at Wandsworth Beer Festival, March 2012. It pours deep amber-brown, with a decent white head. The nose is Terry’s chocolate orange, caramel, toffee and chocolate digestive biscuits. The taste is caramel, chocolate, charcoal, roasted malt, leather, wood, ash and orange Jaffa cake, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not nearly as sweet and sickening on the taste as you might expect. Good balance. I liked it a lot.

1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
@Royal Oak, Twerton. Medium brown. The aroma is like a chocolate-orange candy from the drug store. Mix of Hershey’s syrup and fake orange. Bitter towards the finish. Do not like. Dreadful stuff.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask @ Royal Oak, Bath. A tawny color, not quite opaque but mostly brown orange hue. Scant head with slight lace. Aroma of filled chocolates. Is soft and mellow and not as candylike as expected, or as the name suggests. Just a nice citrus-orange dash with milk chocolate surrounding it. Soft palate. Nice roasty finish with delicious chocolate character. The orange is just in the right quantity. Flavors blend and go together really well. I understand this could have been a potential disaster. But it’s mellow and the concept is well-executed. I could pint it.

Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100803]
