Brewed in the vaults of Stadskasteel Oudaen, a medieval city castle at the heart of Utrecht since 1296, this Brown Ale draws on English brewing tradition dating back to the 17th century. At that time, brown malt was roasted over open fires of peat and wood to create distinctive, malty beers.

At 5.3% ABV, this Brown Ale strikes a modest, approachable character with gentle sweetness and mild depth. It is a straightforward beer that respects the castle's long history without overreaching – honest brewing that complements both the medieval setting and the modern craft brewery that occupies its vaults.
