Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Marketed in the United States as Olde Suffolk.
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.

500 ml bottle, bought at Sainsbury´s, Newhaven. Dark ruby color, nice beige head. Aroma is dark/dried fruit and roasted/sweet malt. Flavor is the same, but also oak, some hoppy bitterness and a lovely sweetness. Very nice.

Nice dark color with a creamy head. Had the slightest hint of fruitcake. Rich flavor from the oak barrel it was fermented in. Great dessert beer.

From a 500 ml bottle this poured a dark ruby color with large tan head and good lacing. Nose is ripe fruits and rich malts. Good rich mouthfeel. Flavor is of roasted malts, fruits, and spices. Woody and somewhat bitter finish. Tastes a little like madeira. wine, and was very good to drink.

Pours a dark amber with a nice off white head. Aroma has an oakish note with caramel malt and fruit. Flavor is a oakish character and malty with a nice warming finish.

500 ml bottle. Dark ruby brown, thin tan head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits and spices. Roasted malts, raisins, apple and spices in the flavour. Balanced and enjoyable.

Medium dark brown color with aroma of malt and dark fruit. The taste was not as sweet as you’d might expect after smelling it. Malty with basic grape likr flavors with a little cardboard thrown in for good measure. Light tartness in the finish.

Aroma is sweet syrup, roasted malts, dry fruits, apples, grapes and spices. Roasted-malty, sweet flavor of dark fruits, apple, dark bread, spices, wood and hops. Quite delicious.
