Commercial Description:
An experiment where we tried to make a classic British strong ale, as they used to be brewed. A very bitter and flavorful ale hopped with copious amounts of British whole leaf hops added in several steps during the brew process - with the last addition directly in the cask from where the ale is served. Spicy, floral aroma combined with a firm malt profile makes this brew strong tasting, but still very quaffable. Brewed on Maris Otter ale malt, two types of caramel malt and the finest Demerare cane sugar. Ølfabrikken "Britisk Strong Ale" is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and cask conditioned like all of our beers. Introduced on 'Fynske Øldage' 2005.

Aroma dominated by flowery fresh hops, pine and tobacco. Lots of bitterness, but with a round mouthfeel.

Draft @ Fynske Øldage. Very fruity nose, with hints of some oranges, very soft hoppyness. Hazy orange body with a medium sized off-white head. Quite hoppy flavor, quite flowery, nice fruityness, pleasant bitterness, very english on the hop side.
