Seductress Black Cherry Stout Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Seductress Black Cherry Stout gives you a robust and full-bodied ale with rich malt character from the dark dry malt extract, crystal malt, roasted barley, chocolate malt, and black malt. Northern Brewer hops supply bitterness while Fuggles and East Kent Goldings add flavor and aroma. The SafAle S-04 yeast ferments cleanly, and you finish the beer with black cherry flavoring for a subtle hint of tart cherries in a sweet and bold profile.

Your Seductress Black Cherry Stout kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
