New Old Ale Extract Kit

O.G: 1070 / Ready: 2 months

English old ale is like English brown ale's big brother: they both have the same caramelly/nutty malt character with toffeelike, roasty overtones - old ales just have a lot more of it, and they approach barley wines in terms of body and alcoholic strength. Our formulation includes a proportion of oats, which helps build a creamy, mouth-filling body and hold a dense tan head atop the deep reddish-brown beer. The unconventional addition of dark candi sugar boosts the gravity and adds a rich, rum-like dimension to the complex flavor profile. Although our old ale uses a healthy charge of hops, the overall impression is of malty complexity rather than hoppy and bitter. This beer does well as an after-dinner mug-filler.
