Commercial Description:
Saranac Black & Tan is a judicious melding of our classic irish stout with an all-malt german-style amber lager. The result is a brew that is hearty, pleasantly bitter and full of flavor, yet can be enjoyed bottle after bottle. Our unique Black & Tan has multiple flavor notes... you may enjoy counting them. Enjoy!

I had sampled this beer out of mix of twelve beers. It was very good. It was rich. It was roa sty and malty. It was reddish and brown in color. It has a foamy brown head. It is a very well balanced black and tan.

Deep, dark brown - almost black color. Head is foamy and a light brown color which lasted quite some time. Taste is very smooth and full-bodied. There are hints of coffee and chocolate along with fruit, caramel and butterscotch. Slightly bitter on the finish. It’s a great beer to accompany steaks and burgers on the grill!

Wow! Good stuff! Nice deep color, fair foam, pretty lace. Probably the best B&T from a bottle I’ve experienced.
