Cask at Pigs Ear BF, 2011, London. Pours black-brown with a bubbly, off-white head. Sugary dark malt nose, some toffee syrup. Light to medium sweet flavor, modest roast, some burnt sugar. Medium in body with fine carbonation, and smooth. Sticky dark sugar finish, some cane sugar syrup, faint roast. Not bad, but with a rather light character overall.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Fest 2011. Very deep ruby colour, close to black, with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is dark fruits, toffee, some roasted notes as well as mild raisins. Flavour is caramel and roasted malts along with toffee and some mild earthy notes. Fruity and dark dry fruity notes in the aftertaste.

Draught: Aroma of malt and roasted malt and also some coffee. Black color and a brownish head. Flavor is light malty, quite roasty, light notes of toffee. Dry, quite bitter finish, burnt malt and hops.

On cask at Cloisters. Pours a black colour with a red tinge and a thick, creamy, light tan head. Aromas of caramel and chocolate. Similar flavours with dark malts and coffee. Moderate carbonation with a foamy mouth-feel and light CO2 prickle. A little thin with a bitter chocolate linger.

Cask at Cloisters. Pours almost black with a nice white head. Some roasted coffee notes but overall, quite watery an thin. Not a bold candoidate.

[cask at Cloisters, Edinburgh] Pours pretty much straight black, not much other colour. Decent off-white head from the sparkler. Light, chocolate aroma. On the taste, some chocolate malt and roasty flavours – but the finish is quite thin and fades pretty quickly. Some fruit on the aftertaste – highly sessionable but maybe a bit lacking [30082011]
