beer_name: Juniper Black Ale (JBA) - Beer Camp #16
text: At the time of this review, this beer is the #49 American Black Ale on the best of lists on beeradvocate.com Beer served on tap at a local DC beer bar, served in a tiny snifter, who cares for how much? Beer is brown to black, hazy at the corners, nice head, tan to brown with some lacing low carbonation. Aroma is chocolate, sweet, and roast. Smells good. Beer is thin in body and plain on the palate, finishes with a little dryness and some bitterness from coffee and some grain. The second taste is fuller and has some sweetness at the front but overall the berries are an afterthought / aftertaste. Just OK, not my favorite.
