Like a fine Port, Old Stock Ale is intended to be laid down. With an original gravity of over 1.100 and a generous hopping rate, Old Stock Ale is well-designed to round out and mellow with age. It’s brewed with classic Maris Otter malt and Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, all imported from England.

Sweet and toasted malty with layers of toffee and caramel, dried fruit shred, brown sugar, medium body, spices running through into the malty finish. Nice.

30 May 2022. Bottle from Beer Republic. Vintage 2021. Clear dark brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of dried fig, date, oxidized apple, pear syrup, port, burnt caramel, wet wood, leather. Taste has sweet oxidized apple, pear & raisin in a caramelly malt body, somewhat brown-sugary with herbal & spicy notes. Herbal hoppy finish, dry woody & leathery, lingering dried fruit and warming port-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Expected it to be fuller but there's a fine subtle complexity to it.
