Our Tastes-- Left Hand Black Jack Porter


I've had Black Jack a couple of times before this blog and I wanted to leave it alone and come back to it because this may be my most favorite porter to date. Absolutely the best I have ever emptied into my gullet! It is a sweet malt bill and medium mouthfeel topped with light brown head and ever clinging lattice like no other. And some of the Left Hand stuff I'm not a big fan of. This medium brown English-style porter is mae with premium pale 2-row, chocolate, munich and crystal malts then bittered and aroma-ed with Magnum and US Goldings. 6.34abv%. Damn that .34% in this state!
