My Old Aged Old

Some nice plum and raisin flavours coming through.
Its two months old now. Plan is to sample one every two months until they're a year old.
I dont bottle usually, but this is one of those times where I enjoy it.
Very nice old ale / porter.
Should be a good winter beer.

IMO an old ale needs to be at least 12 months old to even consider drinking it.

Mine didnt win any awards till it was 2 years old and i finnished off the last bottle at about 3.5 years old.

I have one fermenting now and will bottle it, and forget it for at least 12 months before even tasting!

cheers
 
There's been a bit of private discussion about my Hobgoblin clone of late so I thought I'd better post a pic.
Fuggles & Styrian Goldings combo combined with Maris Otter, Brown Malt, Chocolate malt with 300ml caramelised & powered along with 1469 West Yorkshire Ale. Not too bad at all I must say even if I'm biased. :lol: :icon_drool2:

Dammit! I love these Pommy beers. :super:

Did a side by side Batz. Not saying mine is the perfect clone pictorially or otherwise but perhaps it seems darker because of the camera angle????
Plenty of ruby notes when held up to the light & was purposely made darker for this (3rd) attempt.
IMHO it's a very nice beer & as close as I can get until the next fine tune. B)
Welcome back from the (Month-long) dead mate. :lol:

It was just a little dig at you mate, the old "bit dark for a pale ale" joke.

Yes nice to be back on the farm Pete, it's still fairly damp but I'm going to have to do some tractor work tomorrow before we disappear under the grass.
