Sundance Black Mojo

Tap to rate

Black Mojo has the silky character that defines a well-made porter — a deep flavour base of chocolate and coffee, balanced bittersweet on the palate. The aroma runs to dark roast and cocoa, neither sharp nor cloying, layered enough to reward slow drinking. At 6 percent and a restrained 35 IBU, this is a beer for the evening rather than the afternoon. The finish keeps that bittersweet thread without any aggressive bite.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sundance Black Mojo

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with a warm brown undertone at the edges when held to light. A dense, tan head forms with good retention and leaves a trail of fine lacing down the glass. The body is opaque and settled, with a glossy sheen that speaks to the beer's full structure.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and silky, driven by chocolate and coffee at the front of the palate. The mid-palate develops a bittersweet tension, with roasted Malz character and caramel sweetness holding in balance. Bitterness emerges gently at 35 IBU, never sharp, creating a complex rather than aggressive finish on the tongue.

Serve at 10–13°C

Serve at 10–13°C. Too cold mutes the roasted complexity that makes a good porter worth drinking slowly.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 6–12 months for best results. Baltic Porters can be aged longer.

About Porter

What is a Porter?

Porters are dark ales with 4–6.5% ABV and IBU 18–35. Roasted malt brings chocolate, caramel and toffee — medium body with a clean finish.
