Six different types of malt give this beer its rich and distinctive depth of flavour. Included in that monster mash bill is the deliciously sweet melanoidin malt which brings aromas of honey and biscuit, while three different varieties of rye grain produce deep flavours of nuts, spice and earthiness. Hops take a back seat to allow the complexity of our malt flavours shine through in this sessionable red ale.
Malts: Pale, Pale Rye, Cara Rye, Roast Rye, Melanoidinmalz & Munich.
Hops: Cascade, Willamette & Goldings.

33cl bottle a year after the best before date. Medium white head. Very hazy amber pour. Still quite bitter. Some biscuit too. Not bad.

Cask half-pint in The Royal Dick (Barney’s Tap Room) on 9th July 2017. As the name might suggest this has a red hue to it’s colour and tastes of Rye. Liked it actually.
