Fuller's Griffin Brewery

Old Ale·United Kingdom·5.3% ABV·One of 21 Old Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Old Winter Ale's malty and caramel character. Old Winter Ale is Fuller's seasonal ale for the colder months, sold in limited quantities through the brewery's own shop. It pours a deep amber and leans heavily on Crystal malt, hopped with Target, Challenger and Northdown. Malt, cookie and liquorice shape the aroma. On the palate the Crystal malt gives sweet, nutty and biscuity flavours, which floral notes from the hops keep in balance.
