Botley Brewery ale
Black Barrel
5.7% ABV
A deep, velvety dark ale with chocolate, toasted grain, dried fruit and earthy bitterness.
A deep, dark ale built on a smooth pale malt base enriched with roasted barley, black malt and Special B. These grains create layers of dark chocolate, toasted grain, molasses and hints of dried fruit, giving the beer its rich, brooding character.
Flaked oats add a silky, rounded mouthfeel that softens the roast and enhances drinkability. Challenger provides a steady, earthy bitterness with subtle spice, cutting through the malt sweetness and anchoring the beer with a classic English hop profile.
The result is a full bodied, velvety dark ale with roasted depth, gentle sweetness and a clean, satisfying finish.
