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.

Cask at Benny's Cask Ale Pub. 5.3%. Nice deep amber-chestnut color with a beige head. Malt, caramel, toast, some fruitiness, nutty note, sweetish, bitter finish, earthy, a bit minerally, medium-bodied. Pretty nice.

Pours auburn from the bottle. The frothy off white head fails to linger. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and just a touch of milk chocolate. Taste is sweet to bittersweet up front and into the finish, with a steady caramel/toffee note throughout. Body is medium, a bit chewy. Impressive heft for a beer with such a mild ABV. Overall, pretty good. A sort of โbock-liteโ but a pretty good one.
