Dark Altbier that is rich and complex in flavour with a refined bitterness. Altbiers are fermented with Ale yeast but at a low temperature usually used for fermenting lagers giving this beer a cleaner yeast flavour than a typical ale fermentation.
Altbier translated from German means Old beer and what better FNQ native to symbolise this than the local dinosaurs Saltwater crocodiles.

This porter has picked up notes of dried fruits like raisins, plums and vanilla as well as rum and tannins from the wood.
In collaboration with award-winning Devils Thumb Distillery we crafted this barrel-aged porter in Australian rum casks which previously held a mix of red wine and Australian Whisky. The casks are now destined to return to Devils Thumb Distillery in Port Douglas for use as finishing casks on their limited edition rums.
Three Unique Flavour Profiles to Explore
Original: A Symphony of Flavours
Savour the delightful hints of dried fruit—think raisins and plums—with a whisper of vanilla. These flavours seamlessly meld with nuances of rum and the deep, rich tannins from the cask. It's a harmonious blend that dances on your palate with every sip.
Coconut: A Tropical Twist
Take the original Barrel-aged Porter, add fresh coconut shavings, and let them soak for weeks. The result? A subtle tropical and coconut flavour that adds a refreshing twist to the rich porter base. It's like a mini-vacation in a bottle!
Coffee: A Bold New Dimension
Using the same original Barrel-aged Porter as the base, we’ve overlaid it with robust coffee notes by soaking locally roasted coffee beans in the barrel for weeks. This one’s for the coffee aficionados who love a little extra kick in their craft beer.
Each 750ml bottle is hand-filled, sealed with wax and individually numbered. There will only be approximately 350 bottles.

Hops: Colombus & Ella
Rich with lots of roasted flavours, think black coffee and chocolate with a hint of caramel and smokiness. It is a deep dark black with a creamy white head but with a lighter mouthfeel than you’d expect from a Porter due to being fermented with Lager yeast giving a dry finish.
Dark as the midnight sky with a head as thick as fog. Rich, smoky and malty aromas like damper baking on the fire. From the first sip you are back around the firepit sharing tales with friends and family.
A beer for contemplations, the adventurous, a beer for a good time out with your mates and a good yarn under the stars.
