Florida Black
ABV: 4.5% Colour: Black
As smooth and silken as our American cousin the Florida Black Wolf, this stout is packed with flavours of sweet, treacley chocolate and complemented by smokey, toasted wild oats.
Gold Digger
ABV: 4.2% Colour: Blonde
As bright and golden as a shiny nugget, this citra hopped blonde beer is bursting with grapefruit and peach flavours. Savour it, don’t wolf it!
Tundra
ABV 4.8%
No mucking about – this is a wild animal of a wheat beer. Dry-hopped with elderflowers to give a fresh, citrus and floral flavour with a light dry palate provided by Bavarian yeast. Gold Medal Winner at the prestigious World Beer Awards 2014
1488
ABV 7%
This strong Scotch Ale style beer is the product of a partnership between the Black Wolf Brewery and Tullibardine distillery. The name 1488 was chosen in remembrance of the year King James IV celebrated his coronation and purchased beer from the brewery which was situated where the Tullibardine Distillery is today.
