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.

A red-brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, as well as lighter notes of hops and roasted malt. The flavor is dry and quite roasted, as hard roasted malt. An OK beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt. Surprisingly light-bodied with notes of roasted malt - hard roasted - and then a typical ashy edge. Dry finish. 220406

<i>Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. </i> Transparently black, small head. Concentrated aroma of licorice and black currant. Dryish with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Crisp and very flavourful with notes of aniseed and plums. Finishes with medium bitterness. I really like the concentration of flavours in such a relatively light beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma is malty, mild chocolate note. Flavour is mild roasted malt. Minor orange note. Otherwise soft chocolate malty. Finish is mellow chocolate malty. Very nice.

Dark brown, slightly opaque colour. The aroma is very chocolatey, with some fudgey accents. Fairly soft body with milk chocolate notes and a light nuttiness. Sweet finish.
