Eight Degrees Brewing
Mitchelstown, County Cork
Beer style: Brown Ale
Ref: ratebeer.com Jun2024

Common descriptors are
bottle and draught, speical nov 2016
A brown ale is one of our favourite styles – but we couldn’t resist adding smoked beechwood malt for some extra intrigue! This is a malt-driven beer, packed with two row Irish malt, rye, wheat, dark crystal and chocolate malt for real depth and complexity of flavour. Get this outlaw before it’s driven out of town. Short description: brown ale – caramel and hazelnut – smooth, smoky and sippable
Style: brown ale
Hops: Simcoe
Malt: two row Irish malt, rye, wheat, dark crystal and chocolate malt.
Colour/appearance: deep, dark brown with a fluffy tan head. Aroma: smoky malt to the forefront, followed by a sweet, nutty aroma.
Flavour: a malt forward beer, medium-bodied and with a mellow smoked flavour. Sweet dark caramel and hazelnut notes are balanced with a gentle bitterness. Nicely balanced, without the smoke being allowed to overtly dominate.
Aftertaste: smooth, smoky and sippable.
Food pairings: the main flavour hook in this beer is smoked malt which makes it ideal to complement roasted meats like the Sunday roast beef, leg of lamb or something grilled – get your hands on a fat, juicy burger with blue cheese for the ideal match. Cottage pie in the oven? Break out the Bandit for a very happy marriage of flavours. Avoid smoked foods – you don’t want to overwhelm your palate with conflicting smokes – but try with some mature cheddar or gouda cheese. Hegarty’s cheddar, mature Coolea and Mossfield are all good bets.
