Sin Bin
Sin Bin is the ale Abbey Ales brews for the rugby season; its name is the rugby term for the bench where a player serves a temporary suspension. It is a markedly malty beer, and the malt comes across as caramel. At 5.1% it is among the strongest beers on the brewery's list, second only to the stout. Sin Bin has been brewed since at least 2011 and is a cask beer, poured in the brewery's pubs in Bath.
