Old Tom is a legendary dark ale from Robinsons Brewery, brewed since 1899 and considered one of the most iconic British barley wine beers. With an alcohol content of 8.5%, it boasts a rich, full-bodied flavor profile, marked by prominent notes of caramel, liquorice, dark fruits, and spices, with subtle hints of chocolate and liqueur.

Despite its strength, Old Tom is exceptionally well-balanced, offering a warm, rounded mouthfeel and a long, complex finish. The iconic cat on the label is inspired by a real tomcat named Tom who lived at the brewery and became its unofficial mascot. Old Tom is the perfect beer for slow sipping, ideal for colder evenings, and pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, chocolate desserts, or can be enjoyed entirely on its own.
