A fan favourite from 2024. The Bully is an Olde Ale, made by blending an aged extra-strong Porter with our signature Brown Ale

Brewery draught, 10/26/25.
As pictured.
Roasty porter with some decent chocolate sweetness and a touch of herbal hop.
Very roasty porter character with a reasonable body and mild chocolate notes. Why is this an old ale? It just tastes like a porter. It's fine and well-made beer (albeit very dry with a bit of a dearth of comforting malt), but would like to have seen some more aged qualities, wood aging, Brett....i don't know...anything to separate this from a porter of its size which it is indistinguishable from.

12 oz draft. Flavor is mild chocolate, earthy grain, raisin. It’s on nitro so the texture is good. The name of the beers is called “ The bully” gosh damn Untappd users could even add the proper name. Best of the two brews I sampled.
