Iron Maiden announce new beer and it's very strong
Trooper Red ‘N’ Black is released this coming September
Following the rip-roaring success of their flagship Trooper beer and last year’s limited-edition Trooper 666, Iron Maiden have dipped their toes into the brave new world of high strength beer.
Guaranteed to fly off the shelves at the speed of light, Trooper Red ‘N’ Black is a 6.8% ABV strength porter (5.8% ABV on cask) and has been designed by Bruce Dickinson at his favourite sanctuary of Robinsons Brewery alongside head brewer/alchemist Martyn Weeks.
Not on sale from here to eternity, Trooper Red ‘N’ Black is a limited edition beer and will be available to fans worldwide from September 2016.
Making some startling revelations, Bruce Dickinson said he was cracking into the great unknown when designing the beer: “I like tasting outside the box. Stouts and porters were virgin territory for me so I just went by feel.
“Martyn and I hope we have created a new take on a classic beer and one which I hope will tickle the taste buds of ale fans in a pleasantly unexpected way.”
According to Robinsons, Red 'N’ Black uses a blend of chocolate and crystal malts which help give the beer a roasted malt and caramel backbone.
Robinsons brand manager and all round talisman John Robinson says they can’t wait to reach out to beer lovers once again: “With millions of pints sold in 55 countries worldwide it’s safe to say that Trooper remains a phenomenal success.
“Last year, we released Trooper 666 at the request of the fans and this year we are happy to be releasing another limited edition beer that broadens the Trooper range in an ever evolving and vibrant beer market.”
Roll on September and coming home to a nicely chilled Red ‘N’ Black!
