This ale pours a black colour with a light brown, almost creamy head. The scents include roasted barley with a touch of chocolate. First taste was very roastey with the roasted malts at the front.the finish is smooth with lingering malt and slight choco flavour. The palate tapers off its roasted flavour with a very small amount of bitterness. Delicious and one of my favourites!

11/24/03: Thin head which dissipates. Nice caramel and vinous aroma. Deep brown in colour. Same in mouth, but rather thin. Faint hops which cant seem to cut across the sweetness. Is the beer less tasteful than it used to be or is it just that i had much better old ales? 7-3-5-3-12 04/14/05: The new Olde Jack is now 5%! The bottle says Niagara Pale Ale but there is a little script saying Olde Jack...what the f...? Sickly golden ale with a thin white head. thevinous notes have given way to maple and C-hops. In mouth, a thinnish shy malt with little caramel and nutty notes. Rather mild hops. Getting closer to a session ale, with rather watery body. The Moosehead effect. 7-2-5-2-10 Average is 7-3-5-2-11
