Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
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. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

Haven't brewed this 2 or 3 years. It's getting time to do it again. Very nice old style porter. Roasted malt taste with a hint of licorice and a nice slightly hoppy aftertaste.
