Label Reads: "A rich, dark & mysterious ale brewed to the ancient recipe held secret at Levens Hall for 300 years" "The recipe for Morcco Ale is believed to date from Elizabethan times. Every May-time until 1877 the unique, dark, spiced Morocco Ale matured for 21 years, was served at a great feast held in Levens Gardens, Cumbria. The guests were required to stand on one leg and empty in a draught a tall constable glass filled with 'Morocco' whilst pledging to the Ancient House 'Luck to Levens' Whilst T'Kent flows'"
