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.

Draft at the source. Pretty close to black color. Aroma of pine resin on a dark roast coffee background. Taste is roasty with a decent pine bitterness. A proper Cascadian dark ale

440ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting bubbly off white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light smoky, grassy hops. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter, with a dry, roasty, earthy, leather, wet grassy hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. One of the best Black IPA’s I’ve had in a while. It had some body and was not over-carbonated.

44cl Blik van The Scrapyard. Zwart-bruin, beige kraag. Aroma van gras, tabak, wat grapefruit, leer, smaak volgt, redelijk veel tabak, licht fruitig. Drinkt lekker weg, mist wat oomph.
