An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk.

Notes
8/7/02: Lots of problems with a stuck fermentation on this one. OG was around 1.100, and is currently around 1.058. Added a fresh batch of 1098 yeast and some yeast nutrient on 6/7/02, and I'll se how it goes. I also made a small beer from the second runnings, using 1 ounce of the same bittering hops, and same for other hops. OG was 1.026 and finished at around 1.008, giving a very nice dry stout, a bit on the bitter side.
