Jackie Tar

A ‘Brown Stout’ which means a lot of things throughout brewing history as beer styles are always adapting to changes in ingredients, brewer preferences, taxation, and technological developments. The style, or at least the style name, is having a tiny resurgence probably due to interest in making dark ale other than imperial stouts and Guinness Draught clones.

Born from historical recipes, Jackie Tar was reworked to accommodate modern ingredients and methods. The core of Jackie Tar is a strong roast malt character, and from there working back to build an appropriate spectrum of flavor. Although hopping is medium-low, two late hop additions add nuance to the finish. Show Less
