Nanny Ogg’s Scumble is crafted in the Lancre marshes using a closely guarded receipe handed down through Ogg family generations. It contains mostly apples.
Brewed using the Lancre Blackheart apple (similar to the roundworld Russet and Cox apples) and an exotic mixture of secret ingredients, Nanny Ogg’s Scumble has the subtle taste of oak floorboards and the aroma of melting butter.
The juice is pressed from the fruit and allowed to naturally ferment with its own yeast and sugars for over 6 months.
Medium dry to the taste, “golden straw” in colour and suitable for vegetarians and coeliacs
WARNING: If at all possible avoid bringing Scumble into contact with water. If used for cleaning cutlery, one thimbleful of Scumble should be diluted in a bucket of water for best results, and to avoid dissolving the forks.
Always drink sensibly – do not allow Nanny Ogg’s Scumble to touch the lips or other sensitive areas.

Bottled (AbM). Yellow colour with not too much head. Aroma is sulphury, eggy and some mild sweet apples, vanilla and mild nectary notes. Flavour is also a bit unclean with some sulphur like notes, but not as strong as in the aroma. Otherwise the flavour has some vanilla, mild sweet apples, sugar, nectar and some slight alcohol to it. Quite a thin thing, which isn’t all too pleasant actually.
