Created in 1968 to commemorate the renowned English writer, Thomas Hardy’s Ale is a limited edition barley wine. Numbered and vintage-dated to be stored for years (even over 25 years, according to those who have made it in the past); this legendary beer is finally back in production. A piece of English history we would like to share with you.

Pours deep slightly hazed mahogany into a snifter. Bubbly head recedes to nothing. Sweet molasses aromas. Slick with sweet toffee and molasses upfront turning to mild, bitter roots and earth in the lasting finish.

Bottle. Pours flat. Dark ruby color. Aroma is plum and english tea and biscuit malt. A little syrupy. Sweet maple. But very British so it's not aversive American over-the-topness. Flavor isn't as sweet as the aroma. A little dry pie crust with the maple-like sweet syrup. Almost completely flat. It's that it should be.

Midnight indulgence. Really good now but most likely great as oxidation sets in and adds some depth. Crazy malty!
