In 1896, a kiwi confectioner in Dunedin patented Hokey Pokey and we've been obsessed with the stuff ever since.
From chocolate bars to ice cream and now... beer.
Light caramel vanilla flavours with a burst of honeycomb balance the decadent coffee and chocolate malt taste.
A proper kiwi stout. Hokey Pokey.

Can from LCB. Pours black with fizzy beige head which faded. Aroma has a chocolate milkshake vibe with light roast malt and subtle hops. Taste of that honeycomb with chocolate, coffee, dark malts, touch of molasses and a bit of licoricey spice in the finish. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, slightly chewy. Good.

[44cl can from Lowcostbeer.] A glossy pitch black pour with a lasting beige head; aroma of honeycomb and chocolate syrup; smooth syrupy chocolate body; a hint of bitterness, and a lingering caramel finish. Definitely a reminder of Hokey Pokey, one of the many delights we discovered on our first holiday in New Zealand in 2018.

Black beer, decent beige head. Light aroma of coffee and malt. Flavour has some coffee, anise, a little chocolate, some fruity hop in the back end. Very smooth, very decent.

Third at Fierce Bar edinburgh. Black, slick pour with a thin beige head. Aroma comes forth like an ince cream sundae, full of sweet chocolate and vanilla, caramel. taste brings some roasty bitternesss and coffee notes. A big sticky, sweet concotion that's a pleasure to drink.
