"A wandering Lonerider, never staying in one place too long. Deadeye Jack represents our seasonal porter consisting of a strong malty background with hints of roasted chocolate, subtle sweetness and low hop bitterness."
The second (and last) beer I had while visiting the taproom at Lonerider Brewing Company was their Deadeye Jack, their GABF silver medal winner. I didn't pick this one because it was an award winner..I'm just partial to porters.

The beer poured a near coffee black in color. Again, because of the pour, I had little to no head. (Edit 1/9/14, when I poured out of the bottle, I nearly had four fingers of cappuccino colored fluffy seafoam head with lots of sticky lacing on the sides of the glass. Lovely.) Aromas of coffee and dark chocolate was heavy, along with roasted malts.
Tastes of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate come to the forefront, with coffee notes in the backdrop. Light bodied with a surprisingly clean finish. Didn't get a bitter bite, but the beer wasn't overly sweet either. It's a solid porter, very representative of the style. Nevertheless, this is one of the better porter's I had, because of the great balance. If they do more limited bottle releases, I might take another crack at this one.
Grade: B+
Price Paid: $2.50 (8 oz draught)
