Old ale traditionally is made from the first runnings of a mild recipe, giving you a rich almost barleywine like base beer, which an extended boil adding to the depth in sweetness. This was the first runnings of last years dark mild, fermented with our choice cask ale strain, and then secondary fermented for 8 months with a Brett C, the mildest of the brett’s giving a subtle tropical fruit character without drying out the beer too much detracting from the English malt base.
