A high proportion of Crystal malt in Old Speckled Hen provides the key toffee/caramel flavour. The yeast used to ferment the beer provides the other key character
- estery or banana/pear drop. This estery note provides the fruity & refreshing balance. The hops used add a palate cleansing herbal note & very slight orange citrus. A very malty, full bodied & warming ale.
