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.

11/II/23 - on tap @ Bar Beenhouwer (Gent), BB: n/a (2023-146)
Clear purple beer, small dense creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: gentle roast, sourish impression, a little floral, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice and hoppy, bitter, soft roast, some alcohol, citrus notes, a bit malty. Aftertaste: good bitterness, resinous, hoppy, more roast, nice one!

Bottled. Black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some chocolate and mild toasted notes. Flavour is quite similar in a smooth way. Nice Black IPA, without the ashes and super roasted notes. Refreshing and good sipper.
