Old Stock Ale

Like a fine port, Old Stock Ale is intended to be laid down. With an original gravity of over 1.100 and a generous hopping rate, Old Stock Ale is well-designed to round-out and mellow with age. It's brewed with classic Maris Otter malt and Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, all imported from England.

Old Stock

"I wanted to tell you of an unexpected delight I had recently. I visited my sisters house, a few weeks ago, where i used to live and brew. I journeyed down to the cellar after she reminded me I had some old bottles there.
As I blew the dust off the bottles of old root beer and cider, I found a single bottle with an NCB Old Stock label on it- from 2001. I had laid it up 8 years ago and forgotten it. I didn't think it would still be good. So I opened it and tasted it cautiously. WOW!, is all I could think of. It was superb! So mellow and full of flavor.
Thank you. I need to procure a few more and forget them again. "
