Rustbucket, our trademark Rye Ale, now has a big brother, Black Bucket. This Black Rye IPA balances rye and roasted malts with fresh hop aromas and flavours. At 6.5% ABV Blackie is a little bigger in strength than his lighter sibling but we think he is every bit as drinkable.

Cremiger, leicht säuerlicher und röstig-hopfiger Antrunk. Trocken, geringe Herbe, Nuancen von Schokolade, getreidig. Würzig, röstig, langer Nachhall, in dem der Hopfen weniger relevant ist. 10/10/9/10/6/10

440ml can from Sipster, Newtownabbey, drunk at our Airbnb nearby. Pours pitch black, tan head. Cracking. Excellent black rye IPA. Brilliant pine hop pushing through a solid malt profile, measured rye sweetness, good bitter finish. Lovely.

Very dark, murky brown with a beige head. Big rye notes, pine, burnt malt, roasted, dark chocolate. Medium bodied. Finish is dry with plenty of bitterness and roasted malt notes. Superb.

On tap at Beer Temple. Near black with a thin, tanned head. Roasted aroma with coffee, chocolate, liquorice, toasted bread, citrus, and grasses. The taste is bitter roasted. Medium body. Drying, roasted finish. Nice BIPA.
