Mississippi Mud Black & Tan

Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Utica, New York USA

Clear reddish brown of color with a light beige head. An aroma of caramel and weak roastede notes. A flavor of caramel, roasted notes and hints of nuts.

Color with a darker amber with black tinge throughout. A slight hint of porter in the nose and taste, but overall flanked by a tasteless and over-carbonated american standard style.

Ceramic bottle. Clear amber colour with a weak head. Aroma of malt and citrus. Flavour of malt, caramel, and it ends up very thin and dull.

Ceramic jug. Pours amber with an off white head. Light and malty aroma. Medium body. As it says on the jug, it tastes like a mix between a very light and thin porter and an average lager. Finishes with a bit of a metallic edge. It’s drinkable for one glass, but I couldn’t finish the whole jug.

1L bottle. Pours dark amber, nice tan head, streaming boobles. Aroma is thin of fruit and bread. Taste is mild of nuts, cherry, slight yeast character, light hop, no finish. Alcohol seems a little loud. Slightly astringent, but refreshing. Not a lot here, but not a lot of flaws either. I can see my uncle’s calling this "like German beer", meaning they can drink it, but would prefer their Natty lite thank you. I could do this at a family cookout. The bottle is cool.

Bottle. A amber beer with a big off-white head. The aroma and taste is of caramel malt, rye bread and light roasted. Medium body with a light dry finish.
