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.

Sour Mash!

Yep, this one has a pint of soured mash added. Apearently guinness does something simmilar, to give their brew a slightly sour zip. I tried this in a witbier last summer, and it turned out great. Got the idea from BYO magazine: http://www.byo.com/recipe/1209.html
