American Ales - Oaked Rum Ale O.R.A - 40 Pint Beer Kit

Barrel aging a beer is a great way to add extra character to a beer as it allows some of the water to evaporate making it more concentrated as well as adding all the amazing flavours of the oak and the drink that was previously held in said oak barrel.

The American Oaked Rum Ale kit is a take on the barrel aged craft beers.  The kit makes 40 pints of strong, ruby red ale, with strong hints of toasted oak and rum.  It's a very aromatic, complex beer that's full of great aromas and flavours.

It's deep and rich in colour, a ruby red hue with a creamy, long lasting head. Just by smelling it you get strong aromas of vintage, aged oak casks and caramel.

A nice malty beginning with balanced vanilla sweetness and rum. This is the ideal brew for a cold winter night, so warming and incredibly moorish.

Included in the box is the bag of malt extract, fermenting sugar, priming sugar, yeast and oak chips.
