comment yeastie boys pot kettle black pkb june 2 2010 by sl tasted tuesday 1 june 2010 330ml bottle 6 0 alc vol new zealand lots has been written and talked about regarding yeastie boys beers and this one in particular it is our pleasure to be able to source some fantastic new zealand craft beers including this one an unusual style this beer claims to be a cross between a porter and ipa so what do you call it a hoppy porter or a dark ipa well either would work it certainly pours dark nearly jet black but holding it up to light is a deep dark brown it has a smallish head that hangs about is fairly dense and off white in colour with roasted burnt nutty malt and big hoppy aromas the palate is medium bodied with medium carbonation sweet malt is interlaced with hoppy bitterness from front to back of palate with bitter chocolate caramel and charcoal there is a creamy glycerol like mouthfeel and yet quite dry on the finish i expected a beer of two parts but this seems to work very well in providing a fairly seamless array of flavours challenging though and hard to see as a session beer but some will disagree this has a high enjoyment factor and it is worth tracking down you can find it

ace of spades stout april 15 2010 by sl tasted wednesday 14 april 330ml bottle 5 9 alc vol australia the excitement grew when pouring this beer its enticing blackness rivaled only by the depths of night a foamy espresso coloured head sat proud and dense like the cream on a vienna coffee the dark roasted aromas suggested charred nuts sweet blackberry crushed rock minerality and a strangely attractive dirty character like the old oil smell of a car workshop floor the palate is bittersweet not too much in the either direction of dry or sweet combining roasted charcoal flavours perfectly integrated with a very creamy body soft blackberry fruitiness coffee bean dark chocolate then finishing with a dryish gentle and lingering bitterness this stout is not a huge face slapping hit of flavour rather it is well balanced rich and complete and is easy to enjoy and sturdy enough to be a true strong stout quite sensational purchase posted in news and brews the duck s nuts the good the

holds barred assertively hopped american ipa what makes this fantastic is that it is well balanced and easily enjoyable you have to like the style though it is bright traffic light amber in colour with a thin off white head the aromas are powerful and aggressive giving huge fresh pine scents fruity notes of passionfruit orange rind biscuit backed by a faint herbal peppery character the palate is well balanced and the beer surprisingly easy to drink it is medium in body and big on flavour like a fat man on a moped there is a lovely malty middle palate with fruity tones of ripe peach pine resin pepper biscuit and caramel the malt carries the extreme bittering hops driving front to back incredibly well for a while before unleashing them on the back palate leaving a mouth watering yet cleansing bitter hop finish that lasts for ages whole hop cones are used in this beer as well as a revolutionary hop torpedo system that is a unique way of dry hopping the beer to capture essential oils and resin the result is a beer big on flavour and extreme in hop character just way a true hop addict likes it bitterness units 65 malts two row pale crystal bittering hops magnum finishing hops
