Dark Beers
A rather traditional milk stout, taken up a notch by the additional of Cuban and Brazilian coffee, freshly roasted by our friends at C4 Coffee. Honourably named after New Zealand's national style of barista coffee. A title that has been wrestled away from freeze dried instant coffee and made our country one of the best coffee nations in the world. In our own humble opinion... Brewed with coffee, vanilla beans and lactose

This beer is an ode to chocolate. For once I was lost for words while describing it. But, after it won Peoples Choice at Beervana 2016, plenty of people helped me describe it. Here we go: Chocolate goodness. Pudding in a glass. Just like a chocolate milkshake only beery. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Much chocolate, much wow!. Chocolate as F*%K. Like drinking melted chocolate from a glass. Back for a good time not a long time. If you like chocolate you should probably take this home. have it after dinner. We don’t want you to ruin your appetite. mmmmmm chocolate.
