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.

1 July 2020. At Dok Brewing Company. Cheers to the Teamleader colleagues! Pours hazy dark brown-black with a stable, small, frothy, tan head. Aroma of pink grapefruit, red apple, walnut, caramel, pine, biscuit, candied orange, brown bread. Taste has sweet orange peel, nuts & caramel, bitter herbs & toast with an edge of coffee. Piney hoppy finish, herbal, a bit spicy & rye-like, touch of warming vodka. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. BIPA with a twist, nice.

440ml can from Sterk Amsterdam, 29th June 19. At home in the garden, picked the wrong one up last month, so pleased to grab this in my business trip this week. It's canned October 18, it's on its BB for June 19, however it pours black, tan head. Aroma is liquorice, cocoa, grapefruit. Taste is bitter, hoppy, citrus, cocoa. It's an excellent black IPA, full in the mouth and full of hoppy flavour. Love it
