COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The combination of a flavorful, creamy stout (black) and an aromatic ale (tan) makes a delicious drink. Old Dominion Black and Tan has good body and a pleasant finish. We mix our Dominion Ale with Dominion Stout (two parts ale to one part stout) to create an authentic Black and Tan.

Retired when the Dominion Stout was discontinued in early 2004.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2003 Had this at Dulles before my trip to Germany. Check that, I had MANY of these before my trip to Germany. Pitch black in color. Coffee-ish tones with a slight caramel scent along with some bitterness. Finishes with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Good beer. ***Re-rate: Not as great as I remember. I'm sure my more matured sense of taste has a lot to do with this. Seems more average now.

Surprisingly transparent body. Weak, fizzy taste. Light coffee soda flavor. Very dissapointing. Not what I expected from a brewery with some great beers.

Good head atop deep red brown body. Slight sweetness and mild roastiness, but this beer loses the strengths of the two beers that combine to make it. Pretty disappointing.

A good porter as porters go, caramel and some what malty in the nose. Decent hops and a nice flavor. Drinkable!
