Black Sheep Riggwelter Ale 50cl

Black Sheep Riggwelter Ale based in Masham North Yorkshire, has a beautiful deep ruby-red bronze colour with a thin but lasting greyish head. Riggwelter Ale has an aroma of rich, smoky roast malt and maybe a touch of chocolate. On the palate it is also incredibly smoky with lots of rich, bitter, burnt malt flavours, but managing to avoid any residual sweetness. Black Sheep Riggwelter Ale is extremely nutty, with the taste of hazel and walnut easily discernible over the chocolaty malt, which otherwise coats the palate with a silky, though lively, smoothness. Hops are present, but swamped by the malt flavours - this is in essence a malty beer much like a sprightly porter. A smoky malt kick accompanies the finish, which fades into a caramelly aftertaste.
