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.

Bottle @ Bittles Bar Belfast [131114]
Black, tan head, good lacing
Aroma of piney hops, citrus zest, slight herbal notes with a good dark malt background
Taste of piney hops, bitter citrus zest, slight herbal, plenty of bitter hops in this with a good stouty background of fairly bitter roast and dark malts. Lots of flavour. Not really getting the rye.
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, robust, roast not too bitter. Finish as main flavour.
Overall - It’s a black IPA to me and a very good one. Top beer from Kinnegar so far.

Bottle from McHughs. Brownish black with a tan head, excellent lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, a little toast. Flavour is burnt rye, smokey base, dry bitterness, makes the mouth water. Really long dry bitter finish. Superb.
