Black color with no head. Slightly hoppy aroma, with more earth tones than citrus. Heavily hopped taste that is well balanced with a woody malt base. Maybe a bit of sherry? Dry finish.

Dark Brown Coloring with Tan Head. An Interesting and Confusing Brew is the Hop Jack Black. A Nice, Almost Creamy Stout that Doesn’t End as a Stout Tends to Do, Instead Hops Climb Up From the Depths to Create a Dry Hop Aftertaste. Malt is Sugary Sweet with a Light Citrus Twinge. Nice Creation.

Ruby red wine brown dark clear pour, witha creamy tan head. Light brown sugar aroma. Very yeasty and hoppy flavor. Some orange peel and angelica, with light brandied notes. Really off-style and hard to describe. Another brown palate for Mr. Hoops to display his hop-strong artistry. Peculiar strong floral smack, likely from this bizarre combo of yeasts. Doesn’t finish hop bitter, just oaky dry with a sweet tangerine tinge.
