My dad buys this by the case. I still do not understand why. It's ok, but definately not what I would consider a stout.

A little bit on the watery side, but overall a decent black & tan. Has a fruity sweetness to it.

Easy drinker here! Bought something cheap, but above average to use in recipe. Pours dark brown with tan head, roasted flavor throughout. Very average brew, but better than many I’ve had!

This is completely unnecessary. A black & tan, by its very nature, should be draught served. With each sip being a unique combination of stout or lager. This watery, faked version of the black and tan leaves much to be desired. Its initial aroma reminds me of a drunken uncle's bad breath. It had a thin and quickly vanishing head. Color is deep, dark brown. I found it very bland and unexciting. It actually tastes like a sub-standard lager mixed with a sub-standard stout!

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.

On tap. Dark, small white head. Smooth and refreshing, malty flavors with caramel, slightly bitter finish. Nothing special.

Not too bad... Fresh aroma, nice dark appearance with a small head. The flavor is just OK, nothing special. This beer is worth a shot, but certainly not a favorite. If you are a casual beer drinker and you like Guiness you’ll love this beer.
