Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black

Love-hate the name of this place, but by all accounts they brew some top drops.

This is a black IPA approached from the porter side. And indeed it smells like a porter, talks like a porter, and tastes like a porter. It's just lucky that the porter it resembles is in fact a very good one with dark chocolate and coffee delicacies.

There's probably a little more fruit / bitterness than the norm here but it's not as hoppy as I was expecting. Would like to try a fresher (or better still draft) effort to confirm what the brewers were aiming for, but even now this is a pretty top drop. 8.0
