Old Man

◎ Appearance

Old Man presents a clear, amber-bronze body with excellent clarity and a pale tan head that settles to a fine lace around the glass. The carbonation is moderate and steady, creating a fine bead that supports consistent head retention throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm caramel and brown sugar sweetness, underscored by a gentle hazelnut nuttiness that develops as it opens. Fuggles hops introduce an earthy, slightly floral character with subtle herbal notes, while a delicate stone-fruit fruitiness rounds out the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich caramel malt and brown sugar sweetness, layered with hazelnut and a smooth, malty backbone. The noble hop bitterness arrives gently on the mid-palate, balancing the residual sweetness with earthy and herbal notes; the fruitiness weaves through, keeping the beer lively rather than heavy.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry to off-dry, with earthy hop notes lingering alongside fading caramel sweetness. A gentle, pleasant bitterness persists without astringency, leaving a warm, malty aftertaste.
