The big mighty Barwon river deserves a big mighty beer, and that beer for us, is a Black Rye IPA!
With the rye malt addition being the hero, it gives this beer an unmistakable richness that imparts a nice spicy kick.
The rye also compliments our hop additions which include simcoe, galaxy and chinook. This helps create a silkiness to the body, producing a fantastic fullness on the palate.
We don't recommend diving into the Barwon during winter, but encourage you to dive into this big, black and bold beer!

Pours black with a large lasting pale tan head.
Nose shows pine, resinous hops, spicy rye, melanoidin malt notes, pumpkernickel and caramel.
Flavours include more rye, soft toasty and light roasted malt notes, a bit more of the pine and resinous hops, and a lasting, assertive, almost astringent bitterness amongst the softer caramel in the finish.
