12oz bottle. Slightly murky brown-amber color, not quite as dark as expected, but I suppose it is mostly the golden ale. Mellow sweet dark malt aroma. Medium bodied and very smooth, this is a really good Black and Tan. Not unlike Mississippi Mud, with smiliar sandy chocolate finishes. Surprisingly well done.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It had a light white color head that quickly faded out leaving no lacing behind. Its body was a deep amber color with very good clarity. Smell: The aroma had a light sweet malty character with just a hint of hops coming through. Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor was much the same as its aroma with a big malty body and some mild hops. Its texture is smooth with light carbonation, a medium body and a sweetish finish. Notes: Overall it’s not bad at all but it’s also not a standout either.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber brown. Sizeable creamy off white head. Roasted malt, caramel, and something I can’t quite place in the background. Grass? Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Has a good roasted character to it with caramel, nut, and just a hint of bitterness on the palate. It goes down smooth with a hint of roasted malt left behind. Very drinkable and pretty good, but it makes me want to give their brown ale a try!

Clear bronze appearance with a large, off white head and decent lacing. Caramel malt aroma with a faint note of chocolate early on. Bready malts dominate the taste, maybe some soft fruit if you dig deep enough. Gently hopped, moderately carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel leading to a short lived finish. A session beer best enjoyed locally and as fresh as possible.

Copper in color, fairly earthy on the nose. Surprising bitterness and lots of sharp, grassy, hopcit flavors. Malty finish is solid and gives a strong backing and a second effort to the beer. Really taste the chocolate and caramel on the finish of this blend.

Smells of dark malts and some hops. Taste is light and refreshing with a very nice rich malty back. Very tasty
