Nine G Blacksnake Porter

Another beer from these guys with a cool label. I hope whoever the artist is who did these is making labels for other brewers. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Smells of sweet malt and some chocolate. Tastes of roasted malt with some nice chocolatey hints on the finish.

Significantly better than the double IPA. Pours out a black color with a nice big head on it. Smells sweet and has some chocolate and a little bit of coffee in it. There isnt much going on taste wise, it seems like there may have been more flavor at some point, but now this beer just tastes weak and old. It was drinkable, but thats about all I would say for it.

[992-20071223] 355mL (c/o GregClow, w/ him, jerc). Fruity dark malt aroma has a lightly smoked background. Clear, dark brown body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Dry roasted coffee malt flavour. Full body has a dry bitter finish. Nice though a little odd.

Bottle shared with jerc & mabel - my bottle obtained from HogTownHarry. Deep brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roast malt and sweet cocoa powder. Medium body. Flavour is a bit dryer than expected from the flavour, with a bitter roastiness and moderate hops in the finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Black body with a small khaki head. (3+) Modest roasty aroma, very light acidity. Similar flavour of moderate roast that lingers long into the finish and aftertaste. Moderate bitterness from the roast. Average palate. Not unpleasant but not particularly inspiring either. 6/3+/6/3/12
