Black Duck Beers:
Summer Swallow – Mid Strength Pale Ale

East Coast – Pale Ale

Golden Goose – Aussie Golden Ale
The Golden Goose Aussie Golden Ale has been created as a vessel for hops. We use all Australian ingredients in the Golden Ale and enjoy trying different hop combinations as we work our way through an ever increasing range. Despite the use of different hops, this Golden Ale will always offer a rich fruity and floral aroma, a moderately light body, and a healthy bitterness to cleanse the palate. A great match for flavoursome, spicy food and pizza. Enjoy it from your favourite glass for the best experience.

Mother Duck – American Pale Ale
What started out as a collaboration, has now begun its own journey. The Mother Duck is an American Pale Ale with four hope varieties and three malt profiles, that is sure to tantalise the senses. A fruity, floral bouquet, with pine undertones and a richness in body, balance this beer nicely.
5.5% abv. 29 IBU. 12 EBC. Malt 7. Hops 8.
Heron’s Craic – Irish Red Ale
Made for the wandering Paddy yearning for home. We have used water as pure as the driven snow, and the subtle aroma of noble Fuggle hops to set the scene of rolling fields of green, and fences made of stone. There is a caramel, sweet undertone, and a hint of dark roast that give this beer a delicious flavour profile. Enjoy with a hearty stew, or a mountain of Colcannon.
4.3% abv. 19 IBU. 29 EBC. Malt 7. Hops 4.
Indian Runner – India Pale Ale
India Pale Ales are traditionally high in alcohol and bitterness to withstand long sea voyages. We compliment these properties with a creative amount of hops for aroma and flavour, resulting in a complex, interesting beer. The bitterness is a dominating character, but coupled with a rich body, our Runner is a great match for a platter of good quality cheeses, bread, and cured meats.
6% abv. 52 IBU. 25 EBC. Malt 8. Hops 9.
Black Bird – Traditional Dark Ale
This Dark Ale is based on an English beer style. We have used some traditional hop varieties, and kept the body a little bit lighter, to make drinking this beer a satisfying experience. We have created a beer that offers all the rich chocolate, and coffee flavours and aromas you should expect from a Dark Ale. As with all good beer, drinking from your favourite glass will make it much more enjoyable.
4.3% abv. 29 IBU. 48 EBC. Malt 8. Hops 3.
Phoenix – Migration Stout
There is a whole lot of darkness in this dangerously drinkable Stout. We have used three different dark roast malts, that give a complexity of sweetness, coffee, burnt toast, alcohol warms, and a hint of aniseed from the aptly named Phoenix hops. A big Stout, that will keep you interested well into the next glass.
7.5% abv. 50 IBU. 76 EBC. Malt 9. Hops 5.
