Deep amber in colour, Old Winter Ale is a strong beer with a malt, cookie and liquorice aroma. The prominent Crystal malts add sweet, nutty flavours, balanced by floral notes from Target, Challenger and Northdown hops.

500ml bottle sampled at a rating session in Tromsø. Clear mahogany body. Almost no head. Smoky smell of roasted malt. The flavour has got dark caramel notes and nutty hints. Flat and dry ending, slightly bitter. And as Finn said, we need something stronger for the Arctic frost (23.02.2007).

Bottle 0,5l. Dark brown coloured. A small white head. Caramellish aroma. Dry flavor of caramel and fruits. A long, dry aftertaste. Quite enjoyable - but not strong enough to be a proper winter warmer (right now it’s -10 deg C outside).

Bottle: a copper red colour with a thick white head, a deep earthy aroma, a rich taste, with caramel, malt, nuts, and spiced fruit, leaving a long lasting bitter fruit aftertaste. Warming and satisfying.

Red copper ale with a thick light moka head. Light sweet caramel malt with light figuy notes. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light hopping, and sustained metallic harshness, and burned caramel. Light alcohol in finish. Sweet fruity esters in remnant but overpowered by the burned character. Bottle was BB 24/09/05. Bottle bought in England in Feb. 2005.
