James Squire Jack of Spades Porter



Winter is almost over but I’m still in the need of something dark to warm me up.

On another recent Melbourne trip, I paid a visit to the Crafty Squire and they still have the 2019 release of the Wreck on tap, an Imperial Porter this year.

Their normal porter is good as well, using roasted barley and a longer maturation give it depth.




It was easy to drink and didn’t feel too rich.

Chocolate notes always go well in favour for me, it was also rich and creamy.

Porters originate from London and are related to stout which are stronger versions.

It’s 5% and 1.4 standard drinks.

The label design matches the brew, James Squire have a part of a story on each of their different bottles, you have to drink all of them to see all of it, the Porter has number four.

Another fine product by James Squire.

Cheers,

Dave
