30th Anniversary - Jack & Ken's Ale
Poured into Founders snifter Pours 1/2 finger of beige head. Color is a copper brown. Good head retention with some splattered lace. Aroma: Roasted malts with notes of chocolate, caramel, and toffee. I get some earthy, piney hopes with some grapefruit citrus. Fairly roasted and malty, but still pretty hoppy. Taste: Roasted malts with much more citrus here. Grapefruit and orange citrus. Chocolate and caramel malt with a bit of toffee. Grassy and floral. Some dark dried fruits as well. Mouthfeel: Roasted and bitter with some creaminess. Medium to full bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Ends sticky, yet roasted. Overall it is an awesome take on the style. Kind of like the best of both worlds. The hop profile is well done which is important with these type of beers. It has a decent drinkability.
