Brrrr! Winter time. Cold, rainy, windy. Indoors weather. Also the perfect weather for dark beers. Yeastie Boys flagship beer and top seller is the Pot Kettle Black. The main black beers are the stout and the porter and the Pot Kettle Black is of the latter variety. However, unlike a malty London Porter this is an American Porter. I'm not sure that the definition of an American Porter on Beer Advocate helps me understand what that means but from tasting it you get the a smooth burnt flavour you would expect from a good porter, but then are followed with a hoppyness, which I guess you would expect from American (and of course NZ beers.) Again Yeastie Boys' blend of two styles comes to the fore. A tasty treat on a cold dark night.
