hopIQ found 10 beers that share Old Man's roasted and coffee character. A dark old ale of the old school: soft malt notes of coffee and chocolate meet roasted, molasses aromas, a bittersweet roasted taste and a pleasant light hoppiness, rich and full-tasting. Fuggles and Bramling Cross are the hops. The barley is grown on the farm at Church Farm in Litlington.
