Felstar Oak Aged Legless Knight

Cask@Pigs Ear BF. Rich, warming and chcolatey. Odd notes of dog biscuits. Some warming alcohol also noticed, but quite well hidden, especially for an English Strong. This was nice, but perhaps too sweet.

Bottle Pigs Ear BF. Black colour, tan head. Really lovely aroma. Strong dark beer, bit like an Impy stout crossed with a barley wine. Fine, some fruits, dark, some espresso coffee.

Bottled. Pigs Ear BF. A black beer with a beige ring of bubbles. The aroma is oily, fishy and malty. The taste is oily with light roast. A smooth mouthfeel but doesn’t carry its weight. However does have good character.

Black concoction with red-brown highlights; greige-brown sturdy head. Dull but intrigueing spicey nose - a bit like the peels of pistacchionuts, some black cardemom and restrained coffee. Short spicey-bitterish onset (again cardemoms), then swinging to sweet and dark malts, the black cardemom flavour never gone from the picture. The sweetness is also not strange for cardemoms. Some nuttiness as well, and chocolate in the finish. Serious body and texture, alcohol however fully hidden. No indication if this was oak-aged. Maybe none of the bottles are. It’s sweet, but in a nice, (chocolate/coffee)dessertlike way. The beery equivalent of café Liegeois ? Big thanks to Mat W!
Cask Nose with lots of cacao powder and bay leaf. Chocolate flavours, portwine accents, meaty esters, and very vinous, with still some hops in the finish. Chewy but not syrupy, extremely velvety MF. Excellent, very complex beer. Iron fist in velvet glove.

This was excellent, says its a stout on the bottle but the guy i got it from said it was a barley wine? Anyway packed full of flavour, some serious dark fruits, nuts maybe, sweet. Ill need to get this again as it was some seriously good stuff.
