Old Ale Brewed with Molasses and Oak Aged

Think classic seafaring ports, local pubs and weathered old fishermen. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then oak-aged. The result is a rich, malty delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable.

Frothy light beige head left a cover on a dark marmalade coloured body. Syrup, jam, malt & demerara aroma. Full-bodied, greasy, cloying & oily on the palate with a clean sharp finish. Heavy malt tastes with syrup, sugar, stewed fruit, pith & citrus tastes with a tangy finish.

Bottle. Color: Copper, tan head. Aroma: Sweet malty, hints of caramel and fudge. Taste: Medium to over medium sweet light roasted malt, caramel, fudge, brown sugar, molasses. Notes of vanilla and wood. Very lightly bitter, some more bitterness at finish. Sirupy. Above medium body, low carbonation. Pretty sweet, but nice one.

Tap (Kontynuacja, Wrocław). Miedziane z drobniutka, bardzo trwałą pianą w kolorze ecru. Ciemne owoce, karmel w aromacie. W smaku rządzi słodka wanilia ale tylko na początku i dopiero gdzieś dalej pojawiaja karmel i owoce. Na finiszu delikatny, drewniany posmak beczki, przyjemnie ściągający z wyraźną nutką alkoholu ale wpasowywujaca się w piwo.
