Cask at Queen Vic, Aberdeen. It pours darkest ruby - black with a thick, khaki head. The aroma is soft, sweet, ripe cherry upfront which mellows to chocolate, jammy, vanilla, fruit compote, roasty malts and some dull coffee. The taste is smooth, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet character, cacao nibs, ripe cherry, definite black forest vibes, earthy and dull coffee grounds. Light - medium body and soft, frothy carbonation. The cherry character doesn't feel fake and is well integrated into the base beer. Decent.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small almost white head and good lacing. Thereβs floral hops and hints of oranges in the nose. In the mouth it starts off sweet and juicy with malts and biscuits in the flavour. Later it becomes slightly bitter with hints of citrus and grapefruit leading to a bittersweet finish. Golden ales arenβt exactly my favourite style, but this one is decent enough.
