Rye beer using 50% rye and 50% Belgian pale malt. Some roasted rye will be used so it will have a darker and richer flavour. Will be quite a strong ale I suspect.
tasted at bottling stage - straight from barrel. Very bitter, but pleasing bitterness, not too harsh. Dark brown in colour, ABV was 4.8% so weaker than expected. Nice flavour - use of 4 mash steps and also using Cooper's brew enhancer seems to have helped my last 2 beers. Initial taste is well rounded and flavoursome - starting to make beer that tastes like the real thing. Will leave in bottle for at least 3 months before drinking it in earnest.
