Black Amber Ale

Black Amber Logo

New in April, 1996 is Big Rock's Black Amber Ale. This smooth, dark ale has proved extremely popular and is now available in Alberta in draught and 650 ml bottles. Black Amber will be available in the United States in mid summer 1996. This is a perfect ale to sip and relax with or to share with a companion.

A palate pleasing dark ale, generous in flavour, with a gentle roasted malt accent and slightly sweet overtone; carefuly hopped to give a smooth, aromatic finish. A robust, deep copper coloured ale.

DARK BEER MAY PREVENT HEART DISEASE RESEARCHER SAYS.

Taken from the Associated Press

University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher John Folts said like red wine and grape juice, dark beer contains vitamin-like compounds called flavenoids that inhibit platelet activity in the blood, making it less sticky and less likely to clog arteries.

Dark beer has more flavenoids than light beer because particles called wort are removed earlier in the processing of light colored beer said Folts.

Recent research in the Netherlands and several other countries seems to confirm that diets rich in flavenoids tend to reduce death rates from stroke and heart disease. Unpasteurized beer tends to be especially healthy because it contains live yeast, which is high in vitamin B.
