Mississippi Mud Black & Tan

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

Nice brown / copper hue with a big tan foam-up and decent retention and pretty good lacing. Not to sure about the aroma. It’s fairly strong with biscuity roasted malts, some chocolate. Overall dirty metal / chemical smell. There’s alot I like, but enough aroma that I don’t like... Taste has an odd bitterness and burntness with a barely noticable sweetness. Quite malty. Spend your money somewhere else; for instance: peep shows.

1 quart bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a very dark brown. Flavor: Somewhat thin, almost watery...hints of caramel, and chocolate.

I think I was just attracted to the moonshine style bottle. I was not overly impressed with this in any regard. Watery and thin.

Not much of an aroma, poured a reddish-brown color. Light flavors of caramel and roasted malts. This was way too thin. Cool jug and for only $3 I can’t complain, but this is a below average Black & Tan.

brown jug, watery tea colored with aroma of thumbed sheaf of paper, flavor is very hard to detect, watery

Pours clearish brown caramel color with nice head, which is pillowy and lasting. The smell is macro garbage lager-esque, while retaining a souring malted note. The taste is similar and exhibits slightly toasted corn malts and a watery grassy presence, highlighted by quaint notes of almonds and marzipan, but I was really, really trying to find some character here. Inspection reveals that this isn’t from MIssissippi, I’ve been had by a slick marketing design/fraud. Further inspection reveals that this is better imbibed strait from the cool jug and with the eyes closed.

1 quart bottle. Pours a deep amber brown with a small, off-white head. The nose is light with some malt and caramel notes. Medium carbonation with a light, watery mouthfeel. Hints of caramel, roasted malt, and mineral notes on the palate. Short finish. Drinkable, but not a lot of flavor or complexity there.
