A true seasonal favourite, Old Scrooge is full to the brim with flavours of liquorice and ginger to give it a rich, fiery palette for when the nights’ draw in. A dark ale with a strong bitter finish, this winter pint promises to pack a punch.

11/2/2019. Bottle from Tipplers, Bewdley. Poured almost black with a nice sized beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, toffee, molasses, chocolate, coffee and liquorice with late developing ginger. Medium to heavy sweetness and moderate bitterness. Medium plus body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Enjoyed this.

Bottle thanks to Shrewsbury swap with minutemat. Appearance - dark brown to black with a hint of red and a lovely fluffy head. Nose - smoke, toffee and then dried fruit. Generally molasses. Taste - more molasses, then liquorice and then the smoke note kicks in and runs through to the finish. There’s a residual burnt raisin note that lasts for ages. Palate - molasses, liquorice and burnt toffee. Overall - it’s rich and gnarly and the challenge is rewarding. Actually it’s nice to drink a barley wine that isn’t just about marmalade.

Pours a watery brown with some fading, brown head. Nose has nougat, toffee, cherry, red wine, orange soda. Flavor is better, tobacco leaf, malt, bread crust, a little fruit cake. Sweet finish.

~500ml bottle brought to the November 2015 DC tasting. Poured a hazy dark brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was very malty, lots of roasted malt notes. light sweetness. Light nutty notes. Touch of ginger. Seems like a decent winter beer to drink.
