Broughton Old Jock

Dark copper in color, with a malty/fruity nose, this soft, medium bodied ale is just slightly sweet up-front, with malt and a hint of licorice throughout the palate, and more complex fruit mid-palate and at the finish, which lingers pleasantly. Less sweet than and not as "thick" as most Scotch ales, Old Jock could be the inspiration for the immortal words of Scottish poet (and brewer) Robert Burns: "We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne." For auld lang syne or any other occasion, Old Jock is truly a cup of kindness for beer enthusiasts.
