Cask@Pigs Ear Fest. Pretty sweet it has to be said, and on the thin side of things. Some roastyness in the finish, but its very subtle. Pretty below average i thought.

Dec 26, 2007 A Sim rate (cask at Pig’s Ear BF): Sweet, caramel aroma that’s very rich. Roasty coffee flavour with a slightly bitter finish. OK, but not great. It’s a stout... is a stout... is a stout.

Coffee, some smokiness, but not overwhelming. Sourish finish.

Sep 27, 2007 Bottle conditioned, 500ml, from Harbury Beer Fest ’07. Black with a slight brown head. Poured flat and still, difficult to get a head on it, licorice aroma. Thin, watery beer in the bottle, it doesn’t shout stout at you at all. Plenty of smoky, burnt notes, a bit bon-firey in character, but much too thin to get much else. Disappointing.

Small tan head. Black with some alcohol present. Crisp and smooth on the palate. Bitter roast finish.
