Bottle from Sainsbury's. Pours pitch black with a large thick creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, caramel, liquorice, dried dark fruits, brown sugar and molasses. Taste has more of the same notes with a little added spice. Full body, low carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel and a fruity, caramel and sweetish finish. Nicely balanced. Very nice winter drink. Enjoyed. Revisited 13/10/23. The same as before but getting added toffee and fudge notes both in the aroma and the taste.

Frothy off white head stayed on a Coca-Cola coloured still body. Malt & caramel aroma. Medium to full bodied, soft with a tingle on the back. Malt, caramel, raisin, light pepper, liquorice & spicy tastes. Excellent but better on cask!

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - black with red chinks. Off white head. Nose - glace cherry, molasses and smoke. Taste - brown sugar, molasses, menthol and cherry lozenge. Palate - medium bodied. Dry, lightly burnt finish. Overall - unexpected cherry lozenge thing. Good though.

# 596; 1/2017. Moje první setkání s old alem - a vůbec mi to nezaujalo. Nepříjemná železitá vůně. Chuť plná, sladší, pražená, ovocná, lékořicová. Edit 4/2020. Strong plum aroma, honey, iron, caramel. Dark red, clear body, tan, thin head. Malts, molasses, sweet, chocolate, dried fruits, alcohol warmth. Very good, porter wine like beer. 0,33 l, bottle, supermarket, Pilsen (Bohemia, CZ).
