Cask at Nags Head, Shrewsbury. Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with malts, nuts and hints of oranges. Some traces of ginger and parkin after a while. Some bitterness in the finish. This is decent but not outstanding.
