Commercial Description:
This robust ale is dark, rich, and chewy. Somewhat bitter with a big and chocolatey malt flavor, the Snake brings the kind of flavor that drinkers of single malt Scotch or straight black coffee appreciate.

Near black colour. Mainly coffeeish nose has light nutty accents and a whaff of yeast. Fairly roasty character with dark chocolate and light citrusy hop notes. Robust, flavourful rendition.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of stronger chocolate, cocoa, caramel, roast, and a trace of coffee. Tastes of roast, chocolate, and coffee. Lacing left on the glass. As good looking as this was and as good as the aroma, the tastes were a little bit of a let down.

Very dark brown bodied with a skinny li’l tan head, this has an aroma of chocolate covered dark caramel and a splash of coffee. A slight touch of vanilla enters the taste picture. The finish is similar to that of finishing an iced coffee. Not bad.
