Kelpie
Price: £4.00
Description
4.4%

Tastes rich and malty, full roasted flavours.  Lightly nutty, some walnut and almonds here and there.  Herbal presence is nice, freshly leafy flavour.  Made with seaweed.

Prior to the 1850's there were many Scottish coastal alehouses which brewed their own ales, these ales were made from local malted barley which was grown on fields fertilised with seaweed. This environment gave the barley a very specific flavour which we have recreated by the inclusion of fresh seaweed in the mash tun. In addition to the seaweed (bladder rack) harvested on the Argyll coast we have used only organically grown malt - the darker malts roasted by ourselves.
Kelpie is a rich chocolate ale which has an aroma of fresh seabreeze and a distinctive malty texture.
