Very dark burgundy opaque ale with a thin tan head, nice sweet, but not too sweet, scent, fulll bodied, soft hops, slightly roasted--a nice complex black n tan.

Had on tap, poured a dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma was subtle, mostly of caramel malt, cream, and a bit of bitterness. Flavor was similar, but fuller than the aroma, with good malt characteristics- not complex, but certainly tasty and quaffable. I would categorize this closer to an English Strong than an American Strong- not nearly enough hop presence for the style given here. Still, certainly a decent brew.

Draft at PA Spring Fest. Roasty, sandy, perfect Black and Tan. Black amber color. Not unlike a Mississippi Mud bet deeper. Rich, but incredibly balanced, this is what B+T is all about.

A dark reddish brown ale with a thin lacing light moka head. A pleasant caramel aroma, with strawberry notes, and light hops. In mouth, a light brown ale with nice light hops, a good quenching ale. Growler bought in a Willimantic store, May 2007 and shared with Outaouais gang June 2007.

Growler. Dark brown in color with a medium large off whitet head. Aroma of roast, mild earthy hops, light molasses. Chocolate but mostly roast in flavor, some earthy hops, thin and gets a bit astgringent. Very dry, almost no sweetness detectable.

Growler, RI - Poured a very dark brown with smooth shallow head. Palate was sliky smooth, more of a porter than a black and tan. Mild chocalate flavors without too much roast.

Growler. Dark brown, almost black pour with a thin coffee head. Aroma of coffee, hops and roasted malt. Taste of almonds, malt with a coffee and chocolate hint. Nice dry finish. Not sure about the classification, to me this was a porter all the way.

Growler, split with 2 others. I would consider this a Swartzbier. Pours near black, rich roasted taste with smooth lager characteristics. It reminds me of Mississippi Mud, but only better. wonderful.
