BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA May 6, 2008 Cloudy medium brown color with tan and khaki bubbly foam covering that leaves some lace.
Sweet & sour, Sweettarts, dominates the aroma, dark fruit, mostly prune, some lemon zest and cocoa all follow.
Tangy with a bit of spice, similar to the nose, but more dark. Generic dark fruitiness pervades with tart citrus notes, not as tart as the nose implies.
Pretty acidic, but almost too light, almost watery feeling, but at 4.3% abv I’ll let it go somewhat. Nicely drinkable.
fonefan (4468), Ulfborg, Denmark Sep 2, 2008 Bottle 75cl. @ Amerikaner blindsmagning @ Papsoe, Bottle #04.] Unclear medium brown color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lancing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, sour berry, friuty and woody. Flavor is moderate sweet, light to moderate acidic and light bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (190608) allfreej (291), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Aug 31, 2008 Bottled. Batch 262, 263. Dark brown pour, foamy, dense tan head. Sour nose--wet blanket, barnyard. Flavor was yeasty, barnyard, sour, with a hint of pineapple in the finish. The finish was dry and very saison-like. I really enjoy the offerings from Jolly Pumpkin and Bam Noire is no exception. bdigi66 (443), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Aug 29, 2008 Bottle: Dark, murky amber pour with a frothy, tan head. Aroma hints at dark malts, spice, hay, dark fruits and some lactic acidity. Typical JP body, highly carbonated and biting...very nice. Mildly sour, dark malts in the flavor with additional notes of lemongrass. Ends on a dry, slightly sweet finish. Awesome. Palidor19 (1285), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 28, 2008 kinda of thin, some flavors of wood and tart in everything else. The malt tang gives it an uneven flavor. only for the hardcore nick76 (2038), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 28, 2008 The aroma is wild and funky with vinegar, malt, sour fruit, wood and yeast. The appearance is light brown with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma but has a nice toasty aftertaste. The palate is thin. Overall it’s not that good.
