On cask at Cask Pub and Kitchen. Pours a murky brown with smallish head that leaves some lace. Nose is more malty than hoppy, as you'd expect. Apparently, this is made with Cascade, Simcoe, Comet, and Apollo hops, but they don't really come through...although I'm not sold on that combo for an old ale to be honest. Taste is actually maltier than the nose. Drinks big and thick for a 5.2% beer. Toffee, raisin, light brown bread, and just a touch of yeast. Not really vinous or twangy like you'd expect from an old ale. The malt bill is complex, but doesn't quite do it for me.
