Some things get better with age and historically old ale was one such thing. Our Old Ale is perfectly good to drink now however should you want to put it away for a rainy day, you’ll find this sweet stout will dry out like a fine old wine.

Almost clear dark amber - brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent carbonation. Thin dark malts, tangy. Ripe fruits. Esters.Touch of tangy dark chocolate. Tangy finish. Quite tangy then! Okay but needs a year of five.
