Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 2 on 1 December 2010. Quite dark with some ruby tinges. A little roast on the nose. More fruit on the palate. Decent and a little different – it did have a sort of stout / bitter hybrid feel.

A Mes rate. Cask at Pigs Ear.
Dark brown with no head. Good stouty snout with a pleasant roasty feel and plenty of coffee. A little wheaty and homebrewy in the mouth and the bitterness vanishes almost completely to be left with a full on chocolate malt finish. Decent but not amazing.
