Thin head which dissapates quickly. Slightly sweet aroma of roasted malts and molasses. Color is a very nice deep mahogany red/black. Flavor is a little thin and sweet with more roasted malts. Finish is a little dry with a slight burnt aftertaste and a hint of coffee. An ok beer but i find if difficult that there is no category for black and tan and this falls under a stout.

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.

Bottle pourd reddish brown. Theis is weak for a stout, really! I got nothing as far as typical smells and taste, except watered down. Why bother.

Dark ruby color and a small head. Very faint malt aroma. Flavor is sweet/tart. Sour finish. Somewhat too much carbonation.

although the beer seems watered down it still has the classic taste of a real black and tan.

Bottle. Dark brown/red color with a good size tan head. Very mild aroma of roasted malt. Flavor also was modest. A bit of roasted malt, with little else I could detect. No real unpleasant flavors, but not a lot of flavor period. A bit thin.

Like "mississippi mud" but lacking the stout charteristic. Very carbonated.

a bit of spice anise pepper and licorice though the flavor is too weak. dark brown and flavor of malt with barely anything else it is a touch sweet though just sugary. finish is of root and not bad as well as appropriately bitter but again too weak. good when first sipped it lessens in interest as you continue. light and almost like a cola but still acceptable as i suppose good for winter.
