‘Old Speckled Hen’ has a full, smooth flavour and is very easy to drink. Its rich amber colour and superb fruity aromas are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes. Toffee and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a balanced sweetness. This, all followed by a refreshingly dry finish.

Morland, although no relation to the name of the beer is a pretty village in Cumbria. I had the Morland Old Session Hen prior to this beer and the difference in body is the first thing of note for me, this is much fuller bringing out the caramels more in this instance. Still quite hoppy, a little less bitterness than the aforementioned but there's still enough of this evident here. Clear deeper amber colour, not much of a head.

Bottle. Nice amber, red color, not much head or lace. Aroma is that of malt, hay, cereal. Taste, nice flavor. Malt cereal, with a slight sweetness that’s just right. Good stuff. Would drink again.
