Kissingate black cherry mild 4.2% cask at the GBBF. It’s a deep black with a ruby highlights. Malty maple syrup and cherry aroma. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is molasses and cherry. Kind of off-puttingly artificial. Disappointing.

Cask gravity at 32nd WHOAF. It pours near black with a small tan head. The nose is rich, roasty, earth, tar, treacle, charred wood, fudge and chocolate . The taste is smooth, roasty, cocoa, charry wood, toast, tar, treacle, spice, coffee, ash and dirt with a dry, woody finish. Fullish body and fine carbonation. Punchy stuff. Nice work.

Cask @ The Angel, Manchester [311014]
Black, ruby edges, dense beige head
Aroma - soft mellow roast, dab of cocoa, soft light coffee, getting the cherry
Taste - soft roast, chocolate, soft coffee, lot of black cherry flavour here but I don’t really like this
Palate - Medium body, smooth texture. Finish of soft choc, touch of dry roast
Overall - The addition of cherries ruins it for me and they are too prominent. Could only have a few sips.
