Handpull cask at the Railwaymans Arms, Bridgnorth. Mid-brown, a bit of white head. Malt, honey, golden syrup aroma. Sweet, biscuity, malty taste. I’ve made it sound less interesting than it actually is. It’s very moreish and dare I say a trifle warming for the ABV. I’ve had this before, and am surprised I’ve never rated it.
