Oak Aged Vintage 6%

45th Anniversary Release 1980 – 2025

Smooth · Oak-Matured · Sumptuous

Brewed as part of our 45 Years of Beer celebrations, Oak Aged Vintage Ale is a returning favourite from our archives - faithfully rebrewed by popular demand. This is a beer with real depth, character, and heritage.

Brewed with Buckinghamshire barley and a blend of Maris Otter, Crystal, Chocolate and Roast Barley malts, the beer is patiently oak matured, allowing the flavours to mellow, deepen, and round beautifully. Classic Fuggles and Northdown hops provide a wonderfully balanced aroma.

Expect sumptuous notes of vanilla, caramel and bourbon-like warmth, with a smooth, indulgent long finish - a beer to savour slowly as the evenings draw in.

A limited-edition Small Batch Brew, bottled specially for our anniversary year and available only while stocks last.
