If you’re looking for a beer with a big creamy flavour you’ve come to the right place. Speight's 5 Malt Old Dark Ale is a creamy, rich and chocolatey beer that's perfect to match with strong food flavours. 5 Malt Old Dark Ale was introduced into the Speight’s range in 1992 to meet demand for the classic ‘dark’ beer. No prizes for guessing why it got its name. By carefully selecting, roasting and matching 5 separate malts we have crafted a dark beer that gives rich, creamy, chocolate fudge flavours swiftly followed by coffee overtones. The addition of hops balance this chocolate and coffee sweetness with a parting dose of sharpness to ensure a well balanced dark-style beer.
