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.

I'm still waiting to try it. I've only got room for 2 kegs in my kegerator, but I'm anxious to give it a try. I'll post the results soon.
Nice Irish Red

This turned out very nice. Malty, slightly sweet up front with a pronounced, but not overwhelming, caramel/buttery flavor. Hint of roasted malt. Finishes slightly dry. Good smooth mouth feel. Deep red-brown in color. The best Irish Red I've brewed to date. Very pleased with the results.
