Juniper Black Ale (JBA) - Beer Camp #16
I had heard a lot about the beer camp. I was lucky to find individual bottles recently. Time to go to camp. This beer pours dark. It is black in the middle with lightness at the top and bottom. On the pour I had a nice, three finger foam. It was very creamy; and took a few minutes to come down to a thin head. This head left some very pretty lacing on the glass. The aroma is reminiscent of many of the other tasty stouts in my past. I don't get much of the juniper from the bouquet. The beer tastes great. I get coffee and some light fruitiness; as well as the heavy grains found in stouts. After taste includes more coffee and sweetness as the flavor dwindles. This was a good pickup. The only real downside is that I probably should have waited for a colder day to drink this treasure.
