Dec 16, 2009 Black in color with an off white head. Aroma has some roasted malts, chocolate malts, light bitterness and some brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, light roast with a little bitterness. Light for a black and tan but not bad flavor. Too thin.

Nov 26, 2009 This B & T poured a deep dark red colour with a nice creamy tan coloured head. A little lacing. To the nose there are scents of nuts molasass, caramel and earth. First taste was smooth but slightly watery. Flavours of molasass, malt and a little coffee. Finish was thick and slightly sweet. Burnt flavour with a little hopp lingering on the palate.

Nov 6, 2009 Back on the Booze Train Fall 2009! You know... as far as bottled "Black and Tans" go, this one lacks the refreshing, effervescent quality of what I assume is its direct competitor, the Yuengling B&T. This Saranac six-pack was good with the Thai food I ate, and the time I’m wasting in graduate school on a Friday night.

Oct 26, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Deep brown color with a fairly solid tan head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Roasted malt, a bit of chocolate, perhaps a touch of coffee.
Flavor: Definitely on the bitter side with some piney hops, roasted malt, chocolate, some nuttiness, and malt sweetness.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium finish.
Overall: I would have preferred a wee bit less bitterness with this one. Fairly straightforward beer.

Oct 20, 2009 Thick tan head on a dark brown to black colored beer with lively carbonationn. A malt aroma that is fronted by a burned chocolate and molases smell. A potent hops aroma blances the malt. The taste is initially hoppy pine nut and then focuses on a porter-like choco malt. The balance of this beer is well spl;it making it tasteful yet easy to drink like a light lager. This Saranac is one of the best black & tans I have bought in a bottle.

Oct 19, 2009 Updated: Oct 23, 2009Great beer. Decent mix of stout and lager. Bit’s of chocolate and caramel. Pours a dark brown rather rich. Fairly heavy in the mouth but a very good beer. Great with a fresh steak.
