Cet ancien marin pêcheur fut trahi par ses plus proches puis condamné à l’exil insulaire par son équipage mutin. Jack aurait alors mis sa solitude à profit pour perpétuer la tradition de ses ancêtres brasseurs meuniers. Bâtissant à mains nues un moulin qui faisait aussi office de phare, il attira les rares navires commerçants de passage. Il brassa à discrétion dans la baie, la Black IPA de ses aïeux et fonda ainsi la légende de la Jack Mill Island...

Bottle on the 1401 TGV from Lille to Strasbourg, picked up from The Ministry Of Beer Lille, 04/10/2025.
black with a good sized khaki covering that thins to a swirl.
Nose is rich roast, cocoa powder, pine needle, raisins, dried fruit esters, light charr.
Taste comprises liquorice, charr, roasted bite, cola cube, tropical fruit back notes.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with earthy come dusty hop bitterness.
Could have been a cracker but the light soapy notes detract from it a little. They did wear off as a I continued to drink so score upped from 7.3 to 7.4

330ml bottle from a Christmas Gift set from the In-laws. Pours pitch black, unclear with a perfectly sized large white head. Aroma of pine, dark malt, ash. Flavour profile continues in a similar fashion, great flavoursome depth, prominent pine, dusty dark malt, looks great in the glass too. Very satisfying Black IPA.

Bière pression bue au Loc'Ale à Lille. Petite amertume, belle robe presque noire, saveur douce maltée et peu levurée qui rappelle plutôt une lager qu'une Ale, désaltérante mais a réserver aux amateurs de bières légères plutôt qu'aux fans d'IPA corsées. (M)
