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.

Deep reddish brown. Nice medium sized head and has some good bubbling to it. Coffee strong and creamy. Smells like a cologne. Very rich taste and an almost chocolate-wood quality to it but the coffee and licorice whisks that away. Good.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into pint glass. Aroma - Not much to go on. A faint milky chocolate aroma Appearance - Daaaark brown with tinges of red. Big tan head. Nice lacing. Flavor - Chocolate and roasted malt with notes of chocolate. Palate - Heavy mouthfeel with nice carbonation. The balance of malt and hops make it finish very nicely. Overall - I would have to add this to my list of favorite porters. Nothing objectionable about this at all. For an American version of a British ale, this one is spot-on!

A clear, almost black colored beer, with a huge, foamy beige head. The aroma of chocolate with coffee and dark malts. The taste of a little chocolate, with dark malts and some fruits like raisins. The aftertaste is a lttle sweet chocolate, malty a little bitter and dry. When the beer gets warmer, there are notes of smoked and it’s more fruity.

bottle - Pours very dark brown with a tan head. It has a roast chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is a solid blend of dark roast malt and lightly bitter hops. It’s medium bodied and overall an enjoyable porter.

This tasted very Imperial in style to me and as I’m just moving into drinking the ports, stouts with the colder weather don’t really have much to compare it to at the moment

Bottle thanks to Dakine. Pours a reddish brown color with a large light brown head. The aroma is very nice; sweet chocolates, rich malt and some citrusy hops. The taste is full of rich chocolate and toasted malts. A large hop presence also, it kind of blends in a nice way. Smooth and medium mouthfeel. Rich and dessert-like. Nice.
