Named after Robinsons' brewery cat, Old Tom is almost as old as the brewery itself. It is recognised, both nationally and internationally, as one of the most famous strong ales, winning some of the industry’s most prestigious awards including World’s Best Ale.
Old Tom is dark, rich and warming with a cherry brandy like colour and character. This strong ale has a booming balance of ripe malt, and peppery hops combined with roasted nut and chocolate flavours with a smoky richness. A distinctive deep port wine finish with bitter hops balance complemented by heady, vinous aromas of dark fruit.

Has a Port like aroma and tastes of rich black cherries with a liquorish sweet black molasses finish. Really warming just right for a winter’s evening.

Old Tom Ale special 125th anniversary bottle. At 8.5% this is an absolute triumph for the beer buyers at Asda. Cheers!

Was ein Bier!....Und die Flasche ist der Hammer! Ein Hauch von Malz und Schokolade strömt direkt in die Nase, ein unglaubliches Aromen Feuerwerk im Geschmack. Ein absoluter Favorit! Meine Empfehlung, das muss man probiert haben!!

Une belle couleur noire bien épaisse.
Très peu de mousse. Le nez est très léger avec un peu de café.
Le goût est aussi léger avec des fruits mûrs et un fond de café très subtil
