Brewed using hard water drawn from the original well sunk in stone Yorkshire squares to create a full-bodied malty, toffee-ish tasting, creamy beer of unique character.

Old Brewery Bitter served out of oak casks @ Cittie of York Beautiful Amber/orange-copper color with a thick off-white head, lovely malty aroma of caramel & biscuit with mild oak notes. Smooth as silk and the taste is oak, caramel, tabacco, citrusy orange - seriously delicious. Wonderfully complex 4% beer. Best bitter Iโve ever head.

Cask at the angel. Light hazed orange amber coloured pour with a lasting creamy off white head. Aroma is slightly off, tart apple, toffee and and caramel. Flavour is composed of nutty, caramel malts, bit of wood varnish, vanilla. Little toffee apple. Palate is medium sweet, moderate carbonation. Little grainy. Decent enough, maybe not in the best shape.

On cask at the Swan and Cygnets in Durham. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - very elusive but some toffee in there. Taste - gentle toffee and sweet malt notes. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid and very drinkable bitter.
