Yeastie Boys "Pot Kettle Black" - New Zealand (ABV 6%)

I bought this thinking it was a Black IPA but it turns out to be more a quite hoppy Porter.

Lots of toasted notes on the nose, a distinctively roasted chocolate malt flavour and just the slightest hint of piney hop. Many of Black IPA's have a citrus or fuity hop taste to go along with the toasted malt, the hopping in "Pot Kettle Black" is much more subtle.

A nice porter that would make an excellent winter beverage.
