“Third time available in 420 years” as the label reads, Jack Black’s bottle is full of funny extremisms like “Better Dead Red then just  plain Dead!” and “Once you’ve had Jack Black, you’ll never go back!”  Exclamation pointed each time.    Now does its flavor match up with its drama?  The reddish tint holds true to its name and the bouquet has a molasses hint to it.  However, the flavor has a light syrupy essence to it and the bite is modest despite its large sudziness when poured.  Overall, it’s an okay root beer, however I’m afraid the label does resemble to root beer in that it has a large head, but little follow through.

There is still more fun to be had by the bottle however, with cryptic messages on the cap advertising their other beverages, this one in Spanish for some reason “Beba BrainWash… Refrigerante que dá Lingua Azul!”  This means, “Drink Brain Wash… Refrigerate to get a blue tongue!”

Despite its mediocryness (word?)  I’m giving Jack Black’s a 6 out of 10.  Sometimes something just gives you a good feeling
