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!

330ml bottle @ 10th Shrewsbury Beer Share, Dec 15, courtesy of Paolo. Pours very dark brown with beige head. Aroma is heavy malts and chocolate. Taste is full-on malts with chocolate, roast and hoppy hints. Very flavoursome. Loved it.

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Clear, very dark red. Messy, sticky, lasting, thin, tan head. Dark chocolate. Dark, roast malts. Bit of a lactic sweetness. Trace of grapefruit hop. Taste is full on roast bitter. Some charred wood. Plenty of body. Not chewy, though. Long lasting, woody, full on bitter finish. Less hop punch than I might have expected, but really tasty. Smooth, and easy drinking, too.

Sample at the Badge-Whore Bowl (OSU vs AL) tasting on 01/01/2015. Pours black with a medium thin tan head that diminishes steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and a touch of fruit. The finish is roasty with a malt and coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle between five on 8th Dec 2014 during the Shrewsbury Bottle Exchange group: cheers Paul for this. Dark ruby/brown body with a full beige head. Nose of chocolate and earthiness. Flavour wise it again had some dark chocolate and earth like flavours but the hops came into play more. The finish being dry and bitter. Different and interesting.

A dark brown ale with a thick frothy mocha head. In aroma, sweet chocolate caramel malt with nice treacle notes, roasted coffee, light butterscotch, very nice. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with light coffee notes, grassy hops, resinous and smooth, light musty character, very nice.
