Old London ale is brewed to a Burton old recipe from 1905, selected by our brewers alongside beer historian Ron Pattinson. Stronger than mild and darker than bitter, burton old was a particular favourite in London pubs - especially during the colder months. As a bottle conditioned beer, the flavours will continue to develop right up until the moment the bottle is opened. This beer will form a natural sediment, so pour carefully and enjoy.

(Bottle) Dark reddish amber colour with firm, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, figs, apricots, orange peel, caramel, dark bread, nuts and a touch of chocolate. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried figs, apricots, caramel, bread, nuts, dark chocolate, a touch of pink grapefruit and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. This is actually a small masterpiece of how to make a great, tasty and very well balanced ale, without making it extreme. Very nice.
