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 one turned out really interesting. Not having brewed this style before I wasn't sure what to expect. The result was a beer with fairly strong fruit notes in the aroma (banana and pear) and a nice spicy hop character in the flavor. Goes down smooth with a touch of bitterness (I expected more). Leaves a slight fruit aftertaste. This beer is really full of flavor, much more than I expected. Although it's not my favorite style, it's very enjoyable and I think it turned out great.
