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

Thanks omhper! Ruby colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, some toasted malts with mild wood and some herbal and mild dried fruity tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma, but also has a nice dry nutty and wooden touch to it. Kind of aged feel, but still very "fresh" feeling old ale.

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.
