Old Mans Best Slipper
Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • All Grain • 23 L
An attempt to emulate a Caffreys or Kilkenny. Its not as sweet as a Caffreys and has more flavour than Kilkenny.Could probably do with lowering the IBU's to 25 in order to emulate a Caffrey. It has become none the less, a firm favourite.
