Our flagship beer, and biggest seller, Pot Kettle Black is one of New Zealand’s most widely awarded beers. PKB, as it is affectionately known, is a juxtaposition of beer styles: fresh and hoppy, yet as dark as night and malty rich. The black beer that has converted many a person who’d formerly professed a fear of dark ales… and called a "real foodie beer" by every chef we meet!

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, grass, soft chocolate, some roast, fruity notes, some grapefruit, citrus, "sinas snippers", hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. Very easily drinkable and refreshing fruity malty hoppy chocolate Porter, soft but tasty.

330ml can from Honest Brew. Look - near black, small beige head, swirled retention and clear lacing. Nose - light roasted malts, chocolate, citrus and berries on the hop. Taste - sweet toasted malts, chocolate, citrus, grapefruit, hint of berries, slight sourness. Palate - medium body, slightly frothy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Impressive.
