Cask at the Steamboat Inn, Carsethorn, near Dumfries. Yellowy-gold with a white head. Very fruity up front (over-ripe apples), developing into sweet lemon and orange. Maybe a bit too sweet by the end actually, but I quite enjoyed it nevertheless.

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF 2020 Winter, Iron Bridge Bar. Near black in the glass, covering beige head, clingy lacing. Moderate smell of nuts and cocoa. Earthy malts to the taste character, hints of cocoa powder. Roasted ending, dry. Pretty decent porter. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
