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.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown to black. Orangey-brown chinks around the edges. Nose - cookie dough and lime zest. Taste - bread, raisins, and still a citrus edge to it. Palate - crunchy and medium bodied. Crunchy, dry finish, which lasts. Overall - this is great!

From the can. Dark, dark brown with a creamy beige head that lingers. Aroma is pine, citrus, melon, dark chocolate. Quite nice. Taste is bittersweet up with the dark chocolate taking the upper hand. A piney bitterness soon follows and rounds out the finish. Body is medium, quite oily, carbonation is soft. A fairly traditional BIPA but a solid one.
