Using a hefty amount of Maris Otter malted grain and generous amounts of Chocolate and de-bittered Black Malt, combined with flaked Oats and Barley, we created a unique roasted malt backbone for this Stout. We added Perle, Northern Brewer and Fuggle hops at various intervals and kicked it up a notch by adding a small amount of Tart Cherries to balance out the sweetness of the malts and the bitterness of the hops. Since we used Sour Cherry we kept the addition to a minimum to avoid overpowering the pallet.
