Three Boys - In this Imperial Version of our famous Oyster Stout, we double the malt, double the hops, and double the additoin of that Sout Sea delicacy - Bluff Oysters.  Let's just say it's no beer for land-lovers and should remain the special preserve of the captain's quarters.

12% ABV.

A New Zealand interpretation of an Old English classic.  Our Milk Stout contains a non-fermentable lactose sugar derived from milk.  Deep black and full bodied with mocha and milk chocolate aromatics, it is smooth with a slightly sweet, balanced finish.

5.2% ABV.

A velvety milk stout, brewed with oats, organic cocoa powder and cocoa nibs. This decadent combination is apparent on both aroma and taste, with earthy cocoa and dark berryfruit leading into a creamy, sweet finish balanced with a touch of bitterness. 

An apt companion for the Winter season, we think that this beer will also make a perfect dessert with the addition of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

For this years release of our Chocolate Stout we've used cacao nibs and cocoa husks from Lucid Chocolatier for a smooth chocolate hit, and oats for velvety texture

5.6% ABV

A nod to trusty milk cans of old, Billycan, our chocolate milk stout, pours black as night with a creamy off-white head.  Expect aromas of roast malts, coffee and cacao laced with vanilla and rum.  The palate has soft, delicate carbonation with deep chocolate, coffee and licorice to rich, balanced bitterness and around, toasty finish.  Filling a billycan was never so good.  Slainte.

Obsidian-black with a velvety, tan head, our Milk Stout is traditionally brewed with non-fermentable lactose sugar for a luscious, full-bodied mouthfeel. Aromas of bittersweet chocolate, dried fruits, and bold coffee-and-cream flavours all descend on the senses, while soft roasted-malt bitterness keeps the sweetness in check.  Welcome to the dark side of craft beer. The best stout in the world.

COFFEE STOUT

6% ABV 330ml

Blackbeard Coffee Stout is a result of a long term relationship with our friends and neighbours from Little Drum Coffee. We used huge amounts of carefully hand selected Brazilian single origin coffee beans, along with dark speciality malts. To deliver espresso flavours and aromas with hints of bitter dark chocolate and toffee with medium but rich complex body.

A perfect beer to enjoy not only on colder winter nights but all year around, for all of the coffee and dark beer lovers out there!

Stand out from the herd with this bold and punchy Imperial Stout. Not for the faint hearted!

Only brewed once a year in small quantities, this limited edition stout beer is strong, complex, and one to savour or share.

A voluminous blend of dark malts builds the base of this stout, full of sugars for our house yeast to chew on, and bringing the ABV up to a hefty 8.5%.  Packed with flavours of dark roasted coffee, chocolate and red fruit, this is the ultimate winter warmer.

Strong. Rich. Complex.
