What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Moderate nuttiness, light husky, light spicy hops, touch of earthy, very light plum, touch of apple/pear. Toasty sweet spice and herbal notes. Some caramel, slight toffee. A mild malt note but hidden behind the other flavors until it warms.”
Flavor: “Big caramel and dark fruit sweetness, light earthy hops, touch of plum, very light oxidation (sherry). Balanced and blended well with the spice and earthiness and the malt sweetness that carries through with notes of toast, chocolate sweetness. Finishes with a slight toast and bittersweet chocolate character.”
Overall: “Flavor is balanced with big chewy malt and just enough hops and a nice clean earthy hops finish. This beer was blended well and had full flavors that came together well. A unique and rewarding beer that challenges with complexity but is worth revisiting.”
What the Brewers Say
“Oldwyn Olde is a grumpy old monster with a temper of aromas, including dried fruit, vinous, and toffee. It’s followed by a tantrum of malt complexity and alcohol notes, finishing sweet.”
