Cask at Kings Yard, Shifnal. Pours a hazy deep burgundy with a small cream / yellow foamy head and good lacing. There’s a creamy aroma with malts and toffee to hand. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy (almost cloying). In the mouth, alcoholic strength is immediately apparent along with malts, dried fruit and figs with traces of honey coming through later. Finish is slightly sweet. This is excellent !

Lovely, fruity, malty beer. Smooth finish.
