Commercial Description:
Dating back to 18th century England, the custom of blending pale and dark beers has kept the "Black & Tan" a favorite of experienced beer drinkers for centuries. Our famous recipe combines a robust English Porter with a fine Continental Pilsner, preserving the character of each, while creating the classic taste of the legendary "Black & Tan." In true American style, we bring you the best of both beers as they meet in Mississippi Mud.

A blast from the past of college days--and on sale at Bottle King! Frothy white head sits on a a copper-to-dark brown body in a nonick glass...the blending is noticeably porter/pilsner...the head holds a bit unevenly...a rather nondescript scent of soft malt and soft hops... smooth, almost buttery mouthfeel; effervescent and lively, swift...hops are softened, malts are likewise... crisp and mellow... quite drinkable... that curious combination still wields a pleasant mouthfeel and mood--and that jug’s just as attractive to this 31-year old as it was to that 21-year old... even if the Mud’s made in New York...

Tasting at Ølbaren 2008.03.11 - Thanks fonefan for sharing. Nice red/brown with a sweet aroma and weak notes of roasted malt. The flavour has sweetness, notes of roasted malt, raisin, candy sugar and it isn’t a big beer, but uncomplicated and easy to drink.

Dark pour with a foamy head. Decent lacing. Aroma is sweet with some wet vegetation and earthiness. Lightly spicy, but otherwise very mellow and watery. Not a lot of bitterness in the mix. Watery mouthfeel that definitely left me wanting. Finish reminds me of rotting grass clippings and molasses cookie dough (don’t ask).

In New Hampshire you can buy beer just about everywhere. You can buy beer at your corner "On the Run" or at a Wal-Mart. But for some reason, the only place you can get this stuff is in New Hampshire State Liquor Store. In fact it is the ONLY beer you can buy in a New Hampshire state-run liquor store.(at least that I have seen). It poured nicely dark and had a little hops in the aroma. Supposedly this harkens back to an 18th Century recipe. Maybe it should have stayed there. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t much of anything either.

Came in a big jug that was kind of cool, the beer tasted a little hoppy without much flavor, Wouldn’t buy again

Bottle, thanks to fonefan. Pours dark orange, clear and with a diminished off-white head. Barley, malty and light whiskey like aroma. Flavour is dry malty, caramel and light spiced note. Mild and light oxidiced finish.

This brew is way underrated in my opinion. Nice deep brown coloring and smells like most of the better brown ales that I’ve had. Very smooth sweet taste that is loaded with malt and has a definite cocoa flavor to it as well. I liked it.
