Mississippi Mud Black & Tan

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

black and tan???? this beer was a transparent brownish red with small aerated head....aroma is indistinct and is of yeast, grain, dirt, and some malts...flavor is similar, and is a bit more pleasant, yet unrefined....okay palate, but a tad watery....beer 2.4.....bottle 4.0

Sweet moonshine jug. Pours kinda mud colored. Not much on the aromas, kinda malty with a hint of chocolate. Flavor was kinda bland. When you hear Mississippi Mud, you think thick and rich. This was a let down.

Brought back by a friend from Florida. Bottle is great. That’s about it. My home-made mix is far better as I can vary the proportion of beer and porter according to my taste. Minimal head. Very thin, watery and not much flavour. Not bad but nothing exiting about this beverage. ( PS. At my last football game I snuggled in a bottle of porter hidden in a H2O bottle which I mixed with the local stadium beer. It’s much more palatable that way)

Dark copper color with a thin head. Aroma of sour, burnt malts. Some dull hops and slightly sour coffee in the flavor, but other than that, it’s actually not nearly as offensive as I presumed it would be.

Ok, the bottle is absolutely the best thing about thios beer. Except that it is non-offensive. Not much smell. Redish brown pour with a fizzy minimal head. A little malty a little hoppy, fairly watery and not much to write home about.

Pours dark but transparent brown, not much head. Aromas of dark fruits, malt and grain. Tastes sweet, fruity. Some malt but little hops. A bit fizzy. Would benefit from from more hopping. It does, as advertised, comebine some qualities of a malty sweet dark beer with a hoppier light beer but, while the flavor combination is there, it’s weak.

My first surprise was when I opened the bottle and took a whiff. It has the sweet grassy smell of a malt liquor... Not exactly what I was expecting. Pours a deep copper color. This beer does not preserve the character of a porter or a pilsner. Flavor is actually not that bad though, sorta unique. This should not be classified as a porter but I don’t know where I would classify this bastard. Flavor actually has quite a bit of malt. Medium bodied. I don’t know, I think it tastes a lot like a marzen, but that’s just me. But hey, it comes in a damn cool bottle.

dark brown (almost cola-colored), head is beige, minimal. aroma is somewhat earthy, with slight chocolate notes. flavor is more chocolate, very light roast with a hint of cherry in the background. Roasty, earthy finish.
