Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours an almost clear deep amber with a small, rough off-white head. Very typical messy Old Ale aroma, tart wood and all sorts of phenols. Medium body, low in carbonation, tart fruit and wood, overripe fruit also. Dry and somewhat tart finish with no real hoppiness. But not too bad really. 010510

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Pig’s Ear 09.
Smells of molasses and vinegar. Thsi si probably deliberately aged, I don’t now if it’s been barrel aged or they’ve just exposed to ear to get the aged feeling.
The palate is dominted by a sourness that is quite pleasant - it does not get too vinegar-like. But I’d prefer a bit mor body in the beer itself to balance it, there is some maltiness, but not any other nuances to cope with the sourness.
I hahve a suspicion this is what a stock ale would typically be a hundred years ago..
