Crafted from locally grown Winter barley, our Roast Barley undergoes a rigorous roasting process without being steeped to achieve its deep, near-black colour and powerful, distinctive character that is the hallmark of classic dark beers.
Versatile in application, use Roast Barley to create a spectrum of hues, from deep red mahogany to jet black, depending on the inclusion rate. On the palate, an unrivalled roast intensity dominates, reminiscent of strong French espresso and smoky, barbecue coals. A robust bitterness, combined with the flavours of freshly cooked breakfast toast, underlies this assertive profile. Beneath this, subtle sweetness emerges, with notes of black treacle, caramelised sugar, and muscovado sugar.
Deeper still, flavours of hazelnut, rich dark chocolate, and dried prunes, raisins and dates along with hints of maple syrup and rye bread, create a complex and satisfying finish.
