Commercial Description:
The combination of a flavorful, creamy stout (black) and an aromatic ale (tan) makes a delicious drink. Old Dominion Black and Tan has good body and a pleasant finish. We mix our Dominion Ale with Dominion Stout (two parts ale to one part stout) to create an authentic Black and Tan.

Retired when the Dominion Stout was discontinued in early 2004.

A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, and oatmeal, leading to a dry roasted end.

Good head atop deep red brown body. Slight sweetness and mild roastiness, but this beer loses the strengths of the two beers that combine to make it. Pretty disappointing.

Crystal clear ruby brew. Medium-sized, khaki-colored, frothy head. Weeping lacework. The aroma is of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and caramel. Well-balanced with dark chocolate, caramel and coffee flavors dominating. Bitter and tangy hops. Medium-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp, clean finish. A tad thin, but very drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub on 7/16/06: Pours a clear dark mahogany with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma has a nice light toasty caramel sweetness with a touch of piny hoppiness. Body starts with a pleasant earthy sweet caramel maltiness, nicely-balanced with an earthy, mildly bitter hoppiness and toasty cookie dough flavor.

Draught at Old Dominion for breakfast - RBSG DC 06 Brown/black, light head and lacing. Nose of light hop, plenty of roast and sweet malt. Not too exciting. Light vanilla and grass maybe. The finish is moderate.

Chestnut brown colour, with a reddish tinge. Some subtle roasty notes in the aroma, but not much else. Some caramel, chocolate and coffee in the flavour but, again, not very pronounced. Quite dry. Like many of the Dominion beers I tried, this is decent stuff, but fails to really excite. I had this in November 2004, so I’m not sure that it could have been discontinued early in the year. On tap at the Dominion brewery.

Pours dark brown, with good tan head. Aroma of malt, slight chocolate, hops, and fruit. Tastes roasty, slightly sweet, with some chocolate, hops, and citrus at the finish. Decent mouthfeel. I’m not a huge fan of mixed B&Ts. I prefer the segregated ones, just like I prefer my public schools (just kidding Jesse).

Very black. Sweet coffeeish palate. Could use more body, a bit watery.
