This was the beer that first caught the attention of the Crafty palate on our first visit to Newstead in its early days. Their Porter takes its name from the devastating flood that hit Brisbane in January 1974 instead floods your palate with a bold array of dark malt characters.
Within its red-tinged, nigh on black body you'll find all manner of burnt nuts, soft roasted barley, cocoa, demerara sugar, a hint of Tim Tam and a dry, dark chocolate, bitter finish.
