Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a cloudy peach with minimal white head. Aroma has peaches and apples. In the mouth it is smooth and creamy. Starting off sweet with apricots and apples peel, Later is becomes sharp with crab apples and alcoholic strength. Finish is dry and warming. Overall a bit too sweet for me, but it is very good. Dangerously drinkable.
