This award winning ale is called "Elemental" porter. It is a classic English porter. It is a medium bodied beer with choclate,and roasted notes. Extremely well balanced and hoped using a New Zealand hop variety. This beer will be available soon in bottle. But you can find it now at the Black creek 1 Dodson st Blenheim.

Bottle at Toncatchers event courtesy of Sune. Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head. The nose had a bit of a vegetable quality--I could not place it, but it was not objectionable. The flavor showed good roasted/burnt malts, some light smoke and coffee. The mouthfeel was flawless, very smooth and creamy. The finish was medium in duration and very dry with a slight astringency. Overall: A winner, I hope to try more from this brewery some day.

Sune (sunevdj) sent this to me from New Zealand claiming that he was told it was the best beer in New Zealand. He was probally told correctly. It’s pretty darn good. Dark dark pour with decent head. Lots of roasted flavors with burnt and roasted malts. Touches of mocha and some chocolate. Pretty tasty stuff.

Bottled. A very dak brown beer with sediment floating around under a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood, alcohol, chocolate, whiskey, and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, prunes, wood, whiskey, and alcohol, leading to a dry woody finish.
