Common descriptors are Cask; Status uncertain. Originally born out of a local custom of mixing Highgate Mild with Highgate Old Ale, Black Pig is a beautifully crafted and well-balanced beer, using East Anglia grown pale crystal and black malts, complemented with Herefordshire Fuggle and Progress hops. The nose has warming notes of fruit and malt. The palate is a complex blend of malt, fruit, chocolate and liquorice, balanced perfectly by a satisfying bitter finish. |
