Like a fine port, Old Stock Ale is intended to be laid down. With an original gravity of over 1.100 and a generous hopping rate, Old Stock Ale is well-designed to round out and mellow with age. It’s brewed with classic Maris Otter malt and Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, all imported from England.

355ml bottle. 2018 vintage. (12.0% ABV) Pours a hazy gold-brown with a medium, creamy, short lived, beige head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, brown sugar, plum and light spice. Sweet, complex flavour of bready malt, caramel, toffee, raisin, date, plum and brown sugar with a warming booze finish. Medium to full body with a smooth, thick, chewy texture and soft carbonation. More of a Barley Wine, but what evs, it's still a very nice sipper. ABV is well hidden.
