Emerson's Brewer's Reserve May Day Stout Emerson's Brewing Company (Lion Co. - Kirin Holdings) Dunedin, Otago
Beer style: Stout - Dry / Irish Ref: ratebeer.com Apr2024
Common descriptors are This release is an unfiltered Kiwi-Irish stout brewed with four different
roasted malts; roasted barley, roasted wheat, roasted rye and chocolate
malt to create a layer of complexities along with the addition of crystal
& caramunich malts.
Roasted Barley is key flavour ingredient in well-known Guinness and the beer style. It is produced by roasting the raw barley unlike the usual
black or chocolate malts which are roasted from Malted Barley. The roasted
barley imparts a dry burnt/charcoal flavour to this unique beer style.
To balance against the dark force, Richard has hopped the brew with plenty
of Fuggles, Cascade, Styrian Goldings and the ubiquitous Riwaka hops.
There is plenty of bitterness blended among the roasted notes!
The May Day Stout is the ideal tonic for the cool autumn evenings at the
local with a moderate alcohol content of 4.2% abv.
