COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dark and smooth without the bitterness found in most dark brews. A Sliver medal winner at the World Beer Championships. The blend of Classic stout and lager gives this beer a full, subtle flavor with a rich, satisfying taste.

Light toasty aroma. Clear amber brown with small off-white head. Vaguely sweet flavour seems quite watery and has no real bitterness. Light body with low carbonation makes it feel watery. Not really bad, but not really worth the effort of drinking it either. Bottle. Entered from notes.

Tastes like bad iced tea. If you see it in plastic bottles then get away, it will be completely and totally flat. Not good...way too watery.

Not like the Black & Tan’s one would get in Ireland which would consist of mixing a Guinness and Harp Lager; or in Northern Ireland mixed with a Bass Pale Ale. Nice try though...

Roasted malt aroma, deep clear garnet colour, medium toffee head. Caramel, and roasted malt flavour, good bitterness. A bit watery, average.

Decent beer nice overall flavor. Good roasted bitters with a clean and crisp mouthfeel and finish. Pleasant beer.

Aroma was not bad at all. Complex dark roast with sweeter accents. Creamy oily mouth feel not to bitter not to sweet. I could say strange is some sense. I am not specialized wit stouts so can say much else. I shall seek the truth ... Thanks Damon!
