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 brown with tan lacing. Smells of roasted chocolate malts, tastes of chocolate as well. Nice porter.

Standard and slightly boring porter. Brown, roasted blah blah blah. A little weak in the flavor department. Not bad just blah.

Bottle - Dark ruddy brown pour with some tan head. Roasted chocolate aroma but leaves the palate wanting a little more. A pepper and coco malt mild flavor with some sweetness that just seems rather week to me. An Ok drinker.

Don’t know a lot about Porters, but I do like this beer. Very dark brown w/ thin tan head. Quite sweet. A little chocolatey.

Clear black with red highlights and a nearly creamy tan head that lasts. Aroma of chocolate and caramel malts, as well as hints of sweet dark fruit. Flavor is along the same line, mostly roasty malt and dark fruit. A touch of hops give a bite on the finish. Nice six pack porter.
