I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was too lazy and stupid to write my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.

Bottle sampled on 9/16/07: Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a nicely-lacing tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts with some drier doughy notes. Body starts fairly full with nice caramel malty sweetness toward a doughy milk chocolatey finish. A nice black and tan.

On draught at the bar. Why call this a black and tan? What’s black and tan about it. Watery swill with some light malty flavors. Avoid this one. Stick to the ale.

12 oz bottle. Deep dark brown colour, no head to speak of. Sour, thin aroma with some earthiness. Flavour is pale malt, char, and cheap adjuncty lager. Really bad.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with a huge creamy light brown head that lasted. Light balanced malt and hop toasted aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Moderate sweet toasted malt flavor with an average finish. Looks can be a trap.

Copper/ruby colored, with aroma of malt, toffee, some chocoff and almonds. More like a nut brown than a stout. Finishes smooth. This one is at the high end of the low end beers.

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.
