COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Kraftig, fyldig og velhumlet. Brygget med henblik på lagring og med malt fra Den Gamle Bys malteri. Old Strong Ale er brygget af udvalgte bygmalte, sukker og aromahumle.
Old Strong Ale er en øl brygget i samarbejde med Den Gamle By i Aarhus. Den Gamle Bys Bryggerlaug laver deres egen malt og brygger på et lille anlæg i kælderen under bryggeriet i Ålborggården. Malten der fremstilles, tørres over åben ild i en 500 år gammel ”kølle” (udposning af skorstenen med et gulv af porøse mursten). Røgen fra den åbne ild giver malten en let røget smag. En anelse af denne malt anvendes ved brygningen af Aarhus Bryghus Old Strong Ale.
Aarhus Bryghus Old Strong Ale er en gylden, majestætisk øl, krydret med klassiske engelske humletyper. Overgæren sammen med humlerne, den store mængde malt, herunder malten fra Den Gamle By, giver en kraft til øllen, som blander sødme, bitterhed og et stræjf af røg til en perfekt harmoni.
Opskriften er baseret på gamle håndskrevne noter om gammeltøl og landøl fra Vendsyssel, oprindeligt indsamlet af bryggeren på Vendia i Hjørring.
