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.

Amber color with small tan head. Aroma is bitter caramel malts, earthy Old World hops, and nuttiness. Taste is intense on the bitter caramel, toffee, overall quite dry, but with a heavy maltiness, bitter "black tea"-like finish. Exactly how you’d imagine a malt-heavy UK Pub Ale. I imagine that this would pair nicely with a christmas pudding.

Deep amber to ruby colored, medium strong creamy beige quite lasting head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, nuts, bit of spices, bit orange and floral. Taste is moderate sweet caramel, biscuit, toffee, some orange notes and spices. Dryish bittery biscuit-doughy finish. Low+ bitterness. Medium bodied, light to medium carbonation. Nice and easy flowing.
