Hockley Black & Tan

Hockley Black & Tan

Hockley Valley Brewing Co., Orangeville, Ontario, Canada - Black & Tan
Thursday 13 April 2012 – 4.7%Alc./Vol.     83 / 100 
Initial Thoughts
Typical Hockley packaging. A little bit dressier than the others perhaps… A Black & Tan can for the Black & Tan beer… pour it in a glass and it's, wait for it... black with a tan head! Neat eh?
First Sip
Woah! You like malt? If so the line forms here! Great malt, nearly absent of bitterness with a nice sweet character.
Halfway Through
Really nice! Developing a little bit away from the sweet tone and filling out with a wonderful roasted quality and an emerging bitterness.
Bottoms Up
A thoroughly satisfying beer. A great depth and quality of pleasant flavors characteristic of the good folks at Hockley!
