ManVsBeer	2.4 Blackjack Hinges Cask @ Café Beermoth, Manchester. Slightly hazed dark amber with a creamy head. Bland red ale, with this style more evident in aroma than taste, the latter seemingly tasteless hops. Friday, March 22, 2024
theprof	3.4 Blackjack Irk Street Pale Poured slightly hazy golden body thin lace top. Aroma of tropical fruit hops pineapple papaya and mandarin. Medium sweet to bitter with more citrus in the taste.

FatPhil	2.9 Blackjack Elderflower Bitter Draught (Castle Tap, Reading) (6:3:6:3:11=2.9) Pale. Huge flowery elderflower aroma. Elderflowery taste. Quite unbalanced in that respect, a little bit of a gimmick, but not intrinsically a bad beer. Dial it back a bit, perhaps? Thursday, March 7, 2024

imdownthepub	3.2 Blackjack Sapele Draught at the Small Bar, Bristol. Chestnut with beige head. This proved to be a full, bittersweet, malty beer with grainy, roasty flavours to the fore. Caramel and chocolate hints, some pine needle. It's okay. Saturday, January 27, 2024

ManVsBeer	3.1 Blackjack Sabro Bru-1 Session IPA Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Lightly hazed golden brew with a thin head. Hoppy with some grittiness about this, partly through its carbonation. A lower-end tropical fruit taste is available - better in aroma. Tuesday, January 9, 2024
ManVsBeer	3.3 Blackjack The Old Cats Face Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Dark brown with a small head. Dark Malty, crisp, but no roasted here. Smoothish too. Friday, January 5, 2024
ManVsBeer	3.1 Blackjack Vielle Barrel Aged Saison Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden with a glow and an extremely small heze, and head.

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

ManVsBeer	3.2 Blackjack Helles Bier Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden with a very thin head. Not quite your typical taste of a helles that you might find in Germany, but this mildly floral-infused effort is very tasty. Saturday, December 16, 2023
bertiebucket	3.1 Blackjack Framboise Beret 2/3 pint, served in a goblet, at the Tite & Locke, Lancaster. Hazy pinky red colour, with a fluffy white head. Good lacing on the glass.

Salian	2.6 Blackjack Caminada Pours oily black, chestnut brown head. Boozy, toffee aroma, nice thick body, but flavour is far too strong of rubber, liquorice and burnt sugar bitterness. Almost undrinkable. Sunday, October 29, 2023
