Tasting Notes: Moor Old Freddy Walker (7.3%) - Old Ale

This black, full-bodied Old Ale is exquisite (A trademark of Moor Beer Co in general), and a 'must try' for anybody who seriously likes beer. It is listed in Roger Protz's book '300 Beers To Try before You Die'.

It is quite complex as beers go, thanks to the combination of 5 malts (Pale Ale, Lager, Crystal, Wheat and Black), blended with Liberty and Bramling Cross hops to give just the right level of bitterness.

This beer has an aroma of treacle and rich fruit, with a perfectly balanced flavour rich chocolate and fruitcake. It is particularly good with berry fruits and dark chocolate. (Shame chocolate dipped strawberries are not on the menu, that would be an ideal match.)

About The Brewery Shades, Crawley

The pub takes its name from the fact that the now long defunct Chandlers Brewery was established on the site in the year 1814. Though, the origin of this historic building dates from much earlier.

The oldest part of the building dates back to the 14^th century, and is timber framed. It was originally used as a gaol to house prisoners awaiting execution  on the nearby gallows ( which still stand). The pub is home to at least 3 ghosts dating from this original incarnation.
