Commercial Description:
A traditional London style beer, our Black Jack Porter highlights chocolate malt and Kent Goldings hops. Its slight initial sweetness quickly yields to the distinctive roastiness of the chocolate malt. The Kent Goldings hops perfectly balance the malt, making it very smooth, with a surprisingly clean finish.

Pours a dark brown with very slight hint of ruby and very little head. Mild milky coffee, treacle, nut flavour, but not as deep tasting or complex as hope for.

Dark in color, but surprisingly thin and bubbly. Flavor is a rather mild coffee with a bit of chocolate.

Tap @ Hold’em pub. Nice foam. Nice glass. Yeasty oxidised faint smell. A bit watery and uncharacterized flavour. Not tapped well, full of co2. The best @ the pub for now but if I was english I’d say "I wouldn’t have drunk it all night". One’s enough. A bit boring. Again a product of bad importation/distribution.

Pours like cola from the 12oz. bottle: Dark chocolate, toffee, light/faint roasted marshmellow characteristics. The flavor overall is like that of watered down coffee. Drinkability: Not bad, actually pretty good, but bland compared to other micro porters. Rebuy: Maybe not. #146 on 17102009, DG.

Bottle. Pours a dark, coffee color with a light tan head. Mild aromas of coffee and chocolate. Analogous tastes along with some malt. Medium bodied. Lacked some signature depth and nuances of other stouts. Still not bad though.

Firkin at Old Chicago Eden Prairie tonight. Dark black pour, almost no carbonation and a rich peat aroma. Flavor was creamy bitter chocolate, little coffee and peat and roasted malts on the finish. Haven’t had this in the bottle as a comparison, but the firkin version was excellent.

BOTTLE: dark brown/black pour, small head. Rich aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Same on taste. Medium to medium-heavy body, very good stuff.
