Collaboration with The Black Beer Baron. A tropical stout that pays homage to the foreign export stouts. Our take on this style features Maris Otter malt & piloncillo sugar aka brown cane sugar. FFJ has a deep roasted malt & chocolate flavor without the heaviness that people generally equate with stouts. It also has an ever so slight essence of rum.
The name is inspired by Tom Browne’s Funkin’ For Jamaica (N.Y) which is actually about the Jamaica Queens neighborhood in NYC

I had this on draft 9/4/24 @ Sketchbook.
Dark brown appearance.
Small tan head; minimal lacing remained.
Molasses, mild tobacco, faint chocolate & faint smoke notes in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Caramel syrup & mild fresh earth flavors.
This smelled engaging but tasted syrup-y. Not one I'll return to.
