Aarhus Bryghus Old Strong Ale is brewed with a small proportion of smoked malt from the museum brewery and maltings ‘Den Gamle By’ (The old town) in Aarhus.
We recommend a visit to the brewery, where a reconstruction of the brewery in a scale 1:20 is working and producing malt and beers, as they were made 200 years ago. As the sprouted barley is dried over an open fire, the malt is smoked. The Strong Ale or Stock Ale as it also was called, was used many hundreds of years ago to mix with the much weaker ales, when they went sour. Today we enjoy it on its own.
Aarhus Brewery Old Strong Ale is a golden, majestically beer, spiced with classic English hops, with 8 % Alc.

Bottled@CPH BF 2013. Deep golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is hay, bready malts, some slight toffee and caramel. Flavour is toffee, caramel, some bready notes as well as hay and grass. Mild bitterness. Not that exciting, as it feels like just basic malts and some hops have been put together.

Bottle, 60cl. It pours a slightly unclear almost brown body under a small, off-white head. The aroma is slightly roasted, with dried fruit notes and some faint notes of cellar. The flavor too is a bit on the boring side, but quite pleasant. Roasted malts, dried fruit notes and some notes of bitterness. Full body, soft carbonation. A bit short finish. Well, considering it’s from Aarhus, it’s a damn fine beer, still it doesn’t impress in any way. 130202

Dark amber color, clean. It has a vague aroma of cereals and caramel. Caramel flavor too, with a round mouthfeel, light sweetness, correct bitterness and a final with some roasted nuts.
Simple beer.
