Cask conditioned at Minehead Beer Fest ’11. Black with light head. Chocolate malts overlaid with an orange flavour. Not that good either. I suppose I knew it was coming, not for me.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 3 on 2 December 2010. Thanks to Mick Lewis for sharing this beer which was supposedly "not ready". Bloomin’ ’eck. It does exactly what it says in the tin. It smells exactly like a Terrys chocolate orange. Big bitter orange aroma. Fantastic dark chocolate orange character all round. Some might criticize this for not being "beery" enough but I loved the stuff.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
2nd December 2010
Pigs Ear. Courtesy of Jackie - Cheers Jackie! Hazy dark brown beer, residual white head. Smell exactly like a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Lovely orangey oils in the flavour with some sweet chocolate backing it up. Semi dry finish. A lot of people will hate this but it appeals to my sweet tooth and it’s a nigh on perfect ’confectionary beer’.
