A Winter Warmer
A beautiful beer for the cool evenings - a proper Winter Warmer - and it's bottle-conditioned too.

Dark and full bodied
Complex, full bodied ale. Bottle conditioned and drinks like cask.

Classic beer
Dark, complex and full of flavour. The family resemblance to 6X is evident, but this is stronger and fuller bodied. Too good just for the winter!

Winter brew luxury
A favourite winter brew when all the local pubs are offering piddly pale ales. Can't beat it!

Excellent rich beer, good service and delivery. Even better on draught but not an option these days

The next level
As close to a pint from the barrel as you can get at home. A great tasting beer, full-bodied and served best at room temperature. If you like 6X then you’ll find that Old Timer takes things to another level.

Nostalgia!
This beer reminds me of the winter brews the sadly now gone breweries in the Black Country used to produce!

The beer to savour
This beer hits the the spot it's strong it's good to look at and even better to drink. It's a proper winter beer and the added bonus is as far as I know it's available all year so if you like a strong beer don't pass this bad boy bye highly recommended

Old timer by an old timer.
First time I've tried OT in the bottle, still a memorable beer, I could sit in a comfy chair and be whisked back to sitting in the snug of the ' who'd a thought it' in Lockeridge washing down home made beef stew with OT direct from the barrel. That was back in the early 1980's. Still hits the spot.

Excellent winter ale
Had this on draught a few years ago and was delighted able to buy bottles for XMAS. Delicious malt and dried fruit flavours without being overly sweet.

Perfect for a cold winter evening
I purchased a case of Old Timer as my Christmas holiday tipple, it arrived 24hrs after placing an order ( not bad for Wiltshire to Scotland!) Haven't drunk Old Timer in years and was suitably rewarded with a pleasant tasty beer perfect for a cold winter evening. Will purchase again. I was doubly rewarded when I found out my local is selling Swordfish on draught - also a very pleasant pint. Hopefully will see more Wadworth beers venturing into Scotland!
