Mississippi Mud Black & Tan

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

1 qt bottle. Pours a rather light chestnut brown body with a large fizzy off-white head that actually had some decent retention. Looks like they took a Porter and watered it down 100%. The nose is very light and very grainy with lots of huskiness. A bit of a nutty quality as well. Weak and watery flavor, husky, minimal to no bitterness. Did they cut the Porter with beer or water? Thin fizzy mouthfeel with a very short finish. This certainly wasn’t worth the $2.95 I paid for the quart.

Got to love this bottle, even before I was into beer this bottle always caught my eye and now many years later I still like it. Dark brown body that is still clear with lots of red shining through. Smell is mild and smells like beer with possibly some black cherry and or cranberry coffee is also noticeable but barely. Taste is much the same but with some mild hops that gives the brew a very crisp taste. Coffee plumbs light roasted malts can all be tasted. The light taste makes this brew highly drinkable I think I like this beer.

Mississippi crud. Pretty terrible, watered down beer. The bottle is awesome though, and it only costs 3 bucks. So take it for what it is.

32oz. Bottle: Aroma of grains, noble hops, and pils malts. Poured amber/copper in color with a small, off-white head that barely lasted around the edges. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is lightly bitter and slightly sweet. Tastes of a mess of malts, noble hops, slight cocoa, light roasting, and grains. Light to medium body. Slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Grain, noble hop, and roasted malt finish is slightly dry. Not very good.

gracias casta, con el geek y ramenend en el lago. ahora entiendo black and tan con esta rica birria. fue el dia despues que la trono la pepeshka - marineros de agua dulce!

(quart jug - pint glass) aroma has a coffee malt smell. Pours a brown liquid. Has little head and little to no lacing. Has a fruity hoppy taste with a coffee slightly choclatey taste. Thin texture and a light to medium body. It also is flat. This beer tastes wierd.

I thought this beer was pretty good, I don’t understand why it seems to have a low score. It’s half pale half dark, so the color is brown. The aroma is hoppy thanks to the pilsner, and the flavor is smooth and refreshing with a nice balance between malt and hops. I like this beer and it was cheap and I would certainly recommend it.

Light brown color with a nice white foam head. Aroma of roasted nuts. Smooth and easy to drink.
