“Old Speckled Hen”: Queen of the Roost

This richly-coloured amber ale gets its name from an old car that was used for errands by the Morland Brewery in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England. “Old Speckled Hen” features a robust fruity aroma with a hint of toffee that carries over into the taste.

There is Nothing Ugly About this Old Bird

The toffee aroma is the perfect accent to the deep malty flavour of “Old Speckled Hen”. Any sweetness is balanced by a tart bitterness on the back of the tongue that helps the ale finish refreshingly dry and avoid coming off as thick or sweet. “Old Speckled Hen” is smooth from start to finish thanks in part to a wonderfully creamy beige head that lingers in the glass.
