Extra-Strong Bitter 5.6 º

Blackjack Brewing Company

Blackjack’s Pub Ale Extra is a robust Strong Bitter designed as a cozy winter seasonal. It pours a brilliant deep copper, offering a complex sensory experience led by its premium malt bill. Rich aromas of toffee and bread crust dominate the nose, accented by the spicy and dark-fruit "bramble" notes of Bramling Cross hops. On the palate, a lush, toffee-forward sweetness is layered with subtle roasty undertones from extra-colored malts. The Bramling Cross dry-hopping provides a clean, prickling bitterness that balances the expansive malt base, finishing with a lingering, warming character that evokes the classic British pub atmosphere.

Appearance. Deep copper (approximately 14–16 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It features a thin, persistent off-white foam head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant bready and toasty malt character with pronounced notes of sweet toffee and a hint of dark fruit. The hop aroma is moderate, featuring earthy spice and distinctive dark berry bramble notes from the Bramling Cross additions. Low fruity esters are present.

Taste. Initial impression is malt-forward with rich toffee, biscuit, and caramel flavors. The middle palate reveals complex layers of toasted grain and a touch of roasted character. Hop flavor is moderate, mirroring the aroma's spicy and earthy berry fruitiness. Bitterness is firm and prickling, providing a necessary counterpoint to the malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering toffee aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle on the tongue. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
