16th Feb 2018, cask half-pint in The Railwaymans Arms, Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Must admit I expected a darker, Raven coloured beer. Deep copper/amber body, full off-white head and lacing to follow. Malty blend with the hops playing catch up in both the aroma and taste, some light fruity notes in the flavour but subdued by the malty molasses that try to dominate this easy drinking brew (I like sweeter beers).
