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.

Poured from a bottle nearly black. This beer had a nice balance with roasted malt flavor upfront and a a finish of bitter hops. Also was able to detect some sweet fruit in the taste. A very smooth, lighter bodied porter.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a beige head. Sweet caramelized aroma, with some coffee in there as well. Full, roasted coffee and toffee notes in the flavor. Fainter nut and chocolate notes linger into the aftertaste.

Good brew, very dark color, thin head that i keeps, fairly tight but some big bubbles. Very nice lacing. Nice roasted malt odor, semi sweet. Coffeeish taste, distinct coffee aftertaste. Nice carbonation level and the roasted malts are obviously a major presence. Reminded me of burnt chocolate milk. Great cold weather brew.
