I'm gonna go ahead and do a beer review. This one is a local brewery by the name of Buckbean Brewing out of Reno, Nevada. These guys are a microbrewery off McCarran blvd. right across from Mira Loma park. They Have 2 types of beer commercially available to my knowledge,Black Noddy Lager, and Orange Blossom Ale. Im gonna review the first one "Black Noddy Lager".
I lifted the photo off of google. some frat boy did a review i guess.
First off I wanna say i have been wanting to try this beer for a while based on the fact it's local desert made beer. The packaging for starters is really cool they come in pints of four that are bound together with this plastic ring that is re-usable so you can carry other types of beer and shit around together. as you can see its black and sexy with some chrome, some cool symbols and shit. Im on my second one of the pack right now and The flavors are still very strong and apparent, not losing their flavor with the buzz. It is very dark and creamy almost chocolate/mocha coffee like. i also taste caramel and malt ball flavors. it is not very sweet or fruity but really creamy . a lot like guinness but not as coffee like and not brewed with nitrogen.It is pretty thick almost like egg nog at first but once the head is gone then its a nice smooth texture.this beer is a little different though the end tastes like a pale ale or some type of crisper brew. I think the beer would taste a lot better in either a bottle or glass but punks rarely use glasses so i thought id review just the can taste.this beers flavor stays a really long time, it has been 10 minutes since i last had one and i can still taste the finish and the malt ball flavors. all and all a good black ale, i give it a 8/10 only because its not in a glass bottle, it does come with a cool carrying case though. I cant wait to try the Orange Blossom Ale next but no review cause there is work at hand.
The Very Noddy is epic.
