Bottle. The first thing that hit me while pouring was a Heinekin like skunky aroma that you can pick up across the room... that with a little bit of a grass and some grain for good measure. Color is gold and has a mid-sized head that has died down almost completely. Flavor is a step above macro swill, but rather uninteresting.

Bwon color. Palate is much too light. The beer is thin and watery, with minimal roasted grain. Smoother than the porter, but lacking in flavor or aroma.

Well carbonated. Dark brown color. Standard porter aroma with lightly roasted malt and only a hint of coffee. Not really mellow, but lively from the carbonation. A decent session beer.

Been waiting a while to try this, their black and tan is one of my faves. 12 oz bottle with a twist off cap. Pop the lid for a decent porter aroma. Has the smells of roasty beer and a little uncooked rising bread dough. Pour is very dark, nearly opague but has some light brown gleaming thru the edge of the glass. No head on this stuff. Flavor is well behaved, not at all with any in yer face bitterness. Good tingly carbonation is welcomed. Friendly and certainly not a baltic porter, to nice and smooth. Is easy to get along with and fun to enjoy. A good example of an american dark beer, almost so smooth it could be classified as an american dark lager. Roasted hints and even perhaps some chocolate in there. A milder porter that lager lovers will enjoy. Not offensive in any way. Has just enough bitterness to let you know this is a dark beer. There is a mild back of throat bitterness that reminds me of meat burned on the grill. Over all a very nice session. I like this stuff!

Grainy aroma. Golden pour with a medium head and nice lacing. Dry, generic bitter taste, but good. Subtle hop finish. Fairly decent brew and very drinkable, not terribly unique though.

No noticeable aroma. Dark amber pour, no head. Some cherry notes, but rather plain.

Bottle, as Yuengling Light. Not too bad for a light lager. Yellow gold color, a thin but tight and creamy head. Aroma is mostly bready (distinctly rye), with a touch of musty hop. Fizzy palate, again very bready, with an empty finish. Light palate, flavorful but still boring.

Sample at Firewaters in Atlantic City. Dark brown color with a wispy khaki colored head. Very little lacing is apparent. Sweet malt and fruit aroma. Medium body with mild roasted malt and coffee flavors. Very fruity at times as well. The finish is sweet and fruity with some coffee and malt notes. Overall the beer is a little disjointed and average.

12 oz bottle...super diet cola color, nice molasses smell but not very pungent...very little head, watery-easy to drink...this beer is much better on tap..slight molasses on the finish which is very un-complex...the tap overall score would be a 10 or 11

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized brown bubblyish foamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, smoke and some hops. Flavour is roasted malts, coffee, some slight chocolate and some caramel. Some slight bittering hops in finish. Hoppy and roasted aftertaste. Smooth and pleasant.
