A warped version of Albino Squid Assassin, this super exclusive small batch beer sees us amp up the rye character to the max.
This red rye IPA has spent six months sequestered in rye whiskey barrels, drawing incredible toasty, spicy and oaky flavours from the wood.
The hops have softened and morphed from pithy citrus to ripe autumn fruit, while the malt base has picked up cinder toffee and cinnamon. An incredibly deep and complex IPA.

Keg at BD AGM. It pours hazy deep brown with a small off-white head. The aroma is soft, bitter - sweet. woody, leather, spicy, rye bread, toffee, vanilla and fudge. The taste is bitter - sweet, woody, resinous, dark fruits, berry, wood, vanilla, alcohol boost, leather, rye whisky and chewy malts with a warming finish. Medium - full body and fine carbonation. Enjoyable, if a touch boosty. Enjoyed this even more second time round.
