Old Ale is a nod to brewing heritage. A full bodied, velvety texture with a hefty aroma of treacle and candied fruit. On the palate, find a light roasted bitterness to offset the malty, almost molasses like sweetness and you have everything you need to sit back and taste tradition brewed with a modern approach

Burk från SB. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad med en rejäl skumpuck. Fin doft med rostade nötter, kaffe, nygräddat bröd och fudge. Len munkänsla, söta kola- och karamell smaker som möter en tydlig beska med citrus och tallskott. Lite brun IPA snarare än old ale eller i alla fall en modern tolkning av stilen. Gott men doften lovade ännu mer.

440ml can sold to me by djoeye. A beige, bubbly head leaving rings of lace down the glass, close-to-clear copper coloured body. Attractive aromas of dark bread, caramel and herbal hops. Well mixed taste of caramel, dark and dried fruits, earth, and a backdrop of leafy hops. Drying close, bittersweet. Medium bodied. Good drinking. (Tromsø, 19.03.2026)
