TASTING NOTES
Named after the multi-award winning (Keep Australia Beautiful Program) Black Head beach which is located midway between Forster and Taree. The lactose (milk) added during the boil makes this a sweeter style stout and with moderate IBU’s and ABV this will appeal to stout and non stout drinkers alike.
