Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 3 December 2009. Clear copper colour. Some caramel and toffee. Backed up by nutty and fruity notes. Decent depth of flavour. Definitely more malt than hop though. Is there maple in this? Sweetish with a smooth mouthfeel. Pleasant and easy drinking. Whilst the hop levels may be quite low it has more weight than many beers of this strength.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Chestnut colour, lasting off white head. Very fruity on aroma. Fruity on swallow but needs more malt in the body. Bit watery, but good fruit.
