This Strong/Old Ale is a unique beer that perpetuates the monastic tradition of blending strong mature ale with fresh young beer to give vigorous flavour and depth of character. A blend of two ales: Old 5X , which is brewed to the maximum strength possible (around 12% abv) and left to mature in 100-barrel oak vats for a minimum of two years, and BPA, a dark, full-bodied freshly brewed beer which is added just before bottling. The result is a unique beer - strong (6% abv), dark, fruity, oaky and very, very special. A superb before, during or after dinner drink, or something to savour while watching the footy.
Tasting Notes:
It pours a deep brown with a tight small light brown head. Good head retention. Strong aroma of fruity plums, malty caramel, chocolate and a touch of oak. Theres almost some prunes there too. Very smooth medium mouthfeel. Starts with a sweet taste of molasses and caramel, works through to a bitter, slightly citric mid. Aftertaste is bittersweet, though slightly smoky, woody and roast. Very tasty, and unique!
