Maltster Mash
Schwarzbier

ABV - 4.3%

A smooth, dark lager crafted with eight different malts from three renowned Maltsters, creating layers of depth and character. Expect inviting aromas of roasted malt, coffee, and caramel, leading into a clean, balanced flavour. Subtle notes of chocolate and coffee mingle with a gentle touch of noble Hersbrucker hops, adding a delicate bitterness and light floral edge.
Despite its rich colour, Maltster Mash drinks with surprising ease – crisp, clean, and refreshingly smooth, making it the perfect dark beer for autumn evenings.

Crafted with Extra Pale Maris Otter malt, oats, wheat, and just a touch of caramalt, this beer delivers a clean, subtle malt backbone.
