Dropped into the local Morrison’s on the way home, and picked up a few bottles.
One of them is this delicious offering from the Morland Brewery.
Old Crafty Hen is a malty amber ale, and is matured in vintage oak vats.
It has a smooth raisin finish.
It’s a decent strength too, which balances that maltiness with an abv of 6.5%.
Morrison’s are selling a 500ml bottle (just under a pint), at just £1.89 each.
Perhaps it’s a bit too strong for some to have as a session beer, and it’s not really a summer ale; more suited to a winter’s evening in my view with all that malt, but I’d certainly be up for sinking a few when I’ve got the time!
