Commercial Description:
Old Woody has been brewed in the style of English Old Ales. We have aged this beer in oak wine casks for six months before bottling it. Old Woody will age well for several years if stored in a cool dark cellar. Serve only lightly chilled, with a strong cheese and a hearty loaf of bread.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Hazy, warm amber golden with a tiny, off-white head. Fat aroma of wood, overripe fruit and sherry. Rather full and rich body - a bit low in carbonation - lots of fruity and woody accents, overripe fruit in particular. Actually extremely complex with oxidization, sherry and noble rot. Very subdued bitterness. Very interesting. 230807

Sampled cask-conditioned at Archer Ale House, Bellingham WA. Reddish brown - quite dark and cloudy. Rich malty aroma - toffee, alcohol, and a bit of dark fruit in there as well. Thin flavour, though - a quickly dissipating malt & wood thing, fruity notes, herbal hops...but believe me it’s not as complex as that might lead you to believe. It is rather one-dimensional really, in its unbalanced wood & malt thing. A true Old Ale, yes, but not a good one.

75 cL bottle, thanks to sk8viking. Pours slight hazy brown with a white lacing head. Yes this is woody, slight dried fruity and and malty aroma. Flavour has the same with minor acidic note before the finish and a slight liqourice note.
