COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dating back to 18th century England, the custom of blending pale and dark beers has kept the "Black & Tan" a favorite of experienced beer drinkers for centuries. Our famous recipe combines a robust English Porter with a fine Continental Pilsner, preserving the character of each, while creating the classic taste of the legendary "Black & Tan." In true American style, we bring you the best of both beers as they meet in Mississippi Mud.

OK beer. A true black & tan at your local pub is so much better, that its barely a comparison.

hennes (934) - Fountain, Michigan, USA - SEP 7, 2001
Too much activity and too much blending - they’ve messed too much with the original brews and the result is muddied almost beyond recognition and over -lively in the mouth.

Everyone buys this stuff for the bottle, not for the taste, enough said.

A far less ostentatious bottle would put this beer in its place. This is a mediocre Black & Tan with little flavor.

Delbomber (387) - Philadelphia, USA - AUG 14, 2001
Nice balance of malts and hops. Flavor seems a bit off though, with a subtle metallic taste mixed in with roasty chocolate. Tastes a bit like Sam Adams Cream Stout, although the lager addition helps keep this thinner, and a little watery.

Not terrible, a bit watery, and a bit too fizzy.

This stuff is great! It’s one those beers that tastes good warm.
