Review - Left Hand Brewery's Black Jack Porter
"Black Jack's initial slight sweetness is followed by roasted malt flavors. A blend of dark chocolate and espresso fills the palate and then yieleds to an incredibly smooth, surprisingly clean finish. Pairs with beef or buffalo." -- Left Hand Brewery
This porter pours a murky black color with a frothy, light brown head. Fair lacing follows a mostly diminishing head. Aroma is of heavy burnt malts. Initial taste is lightly sweet, with a burst of moderate sweetness at the finish with a long duration. Medium body on the mouth, it has a nice creamy finish.
