Commercial Description:
A full bodied dark ale which is a blend of our Berkshire Ale and Drayman's Porter. It combines the caramel malt flavor of the pale ale with the chocolate roasted taste of the porter. Shabadoo is a complete and delicious ale.

This beer is a kind of beer that I rarely drink, a porter. This one is an exception. I drank it at the Montreal beer festival, it was so so good, the only probleme I cannot get it here.Bravo !

Poors dark with a frothe head, rich hoppy/malted aroma. Lots of roasted chocolaty malt that intensifies as it warms. Finishes with a slight hoppy bitterness. Good beer, Ill be back for more.

Pours a murky amber with subtle diminishing head. Aroma is of caramel, chocolate, grapefruit and rasberries. The taste of this beer is very complex. One gulp tastes of their porter, the next tastes of a nice pale ale. Above average carbonation and the astringent vinegary finish made this one a personal favorite of mine. This beer turned out to be surprisingly good. The complexity of taste and excellent marriage of two styles has convinced me that this brewer’s other offerings are worth a closer look. To date I have yet to taste an offering from Berkshire that isn’t above average.
