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!

33cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. A glossy black pour with a thin beige head; fruity aroma with some licorice; tropical fruit taste with a smooth grainy body; giving a peaty licorice taste; and an interesting combination of mango and licorice to finish. An interesting blend of styles.
