Left Hand Black Jack Porter

Black Jack pours an almost black brown color. With a very fleeting off white head. Smoky aroma notes dominate. The flavor is smoky with a little spiciness from the hops. The beer is so smooth all the way through. Feels medium bodied. A pretty good porter indeed.

This porter has a chocolate cocoa malt aroma. Lite bitterness from the hops gives way to sweet roasted chocolate malt flavor. I think they played this one too close to the vest. Not much of a screamer. Good for a meet and greet, not for doing the business.

beer pours a water black witha thin head that doesn’t stay for the party. the nose is sweet roasted coffe and sugar with malts at the end the taste is sweetned coffe and tosted malts. the finisg has a little bite.

Pours a translucent dark reddish brown with a small, creamy beige head that laces well. The nose is a pleasant blend of roasty malt, cocoa and lightly earthy hops. Fairly light-bodied and creamy-slick it finishes with a lightly bitter-roasted conclusion. Bitter chocolate, roasted malt and coffee with earthy hops coming out toward the finish, combining in a bitter conclusion that is part roast, part hops. This is a pretty solid beer. It may not be as well integrated or balanced as some of my favorite porters, but it’s a nice brew

Pours a black color with a thin tan head that fades rather quick. There is some nice laceing left along the sides of the glass. The nose is of roasted chocolat malt with toasted almond and hints of oak. The flavor is very roasty and has a nice initial mocha notes with a subtle bitter finish. The finish is kind of dry and does not leave much flavor on the palate.
