Black Rock Brown Ale

Black Rock Brown Ale

Brewing beer has never been this easy with the Black Rock Malt Extract Brewing can that makes 23L of beer. 

Black Rock Classic Brown Ale is crafted using a carefully selected blend of malts, including MaltEurop Pilsner, Gladfield Chocolate, and Gladfield Aurora. This combination results in a rich, malty flavor profile with a deep brown color. The NZ Green Bullet hops provide a moderate bitterness that perfectly balances the malt sweetness, creating a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience.

This Brown Ale is distinguished by its robust malt character and subtle chocolate notes, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate a well-rounded and flavorful beer. The addition of specialty malts enhances the complexity of the brew, offering a satisfying depth of flavor that is both comforting and refreshing.
