Pours brown into the glass with a nice tan/white head. Aroma is sweet and corny. Taste is similar to the other mcsoreys with slightly less sweetness

Bottled. Poured iced tea brown with a short cap of tan head. The aroma picked up sweeter chocolates and toasted barley with a weak overall impression.. pleasant components, though. The flavor had toasted nutty notes, caramel, and sweeter chocolate all amplified by an artificial sweetness.. dries out the back of the palate with a bit of a grainy feel. Lighter-bodied with moderate-plus carbonation.. dry bitterness worked OK here.. watered down. All in all this was a little better than the score indicates.

Bottle. Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is light with notes of roasted malt, caramel and chocolate. Medium body. Flavor is also very faint and similar to the aroma. Not bad, but a pretty weak stout.

12 oz bottle/ The body is black. The aroma is very light - almost nothing. Although I had a really strong scented Smoked beer right before so my senses may be a little off. The taste is pretty light - slight roast characteristic.

BOTTLE: On first impression it seems promising, but those hopes are quickly dashed. Body is too thin, almost no roast character, little complexity, nonexistent finish. It looks like a Black and Tan, but on blindfolded taste test I wouldn’t guess it claimed to be one. Drinkable, but that’s about it. BUY AGAIN:Unlikely

Bottle. This black and tan is probably one of my favorite bottled varieties. Smooth, creamy, malty, chocolatey. It’s everything that a good half and half should be.

Wow, really guys? I thought this one was great. I love black and tans, stouts/lagers and thought this one was great. Bottle, served at 50 degrees in an English Pint glass. Pours dark black with a little head. That’s probably the only thing I would have liked more of. I love a good beer that tastes great as well as looks great with those small tightly packed bubbles. Tastes of coffee and chocolate. Very smooth, good mouthfeel. Leaves a little lace. Very nice beer I thought.

12oz dark but thin bodied. Uninspired and forgetable. On a saide note... Im curious why McSorley B&T is brewed by Miller and the Ale is brewed at Lions. Anyone with answers pm me.
