graham515 (419), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 9, 2008 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 Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jun 23, 2008 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. blipp (1612), Newark, New Jersey, USA Apr 26, 2008 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. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Apr 5, 2008 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. Borrrris (99), LINDENHURST, New York, USA Mar 26, 2008 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 NJBeerman013 (761), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Jan 6, 2008 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. BEERGUY007 (206), Scotia, New York, USA Jan 4, 2008 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. Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA Jan 3, 2008 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.
