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.

I kegged this yesterday and I have to say that I was quite pleased with it. It has a nice dank (cascade) hop aroma and bitterness that balances out the malt character. The head retention is great with a nice soft foamy white head. I will definitely brew this one again.
