About
The story of America’s Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg, Germany, to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. In 1829 he established the Eagle Brewery on Centre Street. In 1832 a fire destroyed the brewery and a new brewery is build at its current locationon Mahantongo Street.

I’m shocked. This porter was actually quite good. Roasty malts, with a caramel flavor.

Ok, I’m drinken one now. The first time I drank it, I thought it a bit strange. A little teeny bit dishwatery. But now it is not too bad. Needs a little more carbonation. Not bitter, per se. Is a ’little’ darker than most american pale yellow beers! Got this one off my daughter. Her boyfriend likes plain ol’ yuengling.

Black & Tan from Yuengling Brewery

4.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Dark, semi-translucent pour with a one and a half finger tan head that is pretty frothy. Some lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt... that’s about it. Flavor is a mixture of caramel-like sweetness and a bitter burnt malt bitter. Comes off slightly watery and fairly un-complex. Not bad, but not that good. As it warms slightly the sweetness gets even more obnoxious. I think this is one of those that is not that bad if it stays in the can, but for goodness sake, leave it in the can and drink it that way.

On Tap. Crystal clear light copper color with white head hanging around the edge of the glass. Light aroma mostly sweetness of some sort. Light and fairly crisp flavor of malty sweetness and some dryer grain malts. I can’t detect any hops. Very light beer that ends a little un-balanced leaning toward sweetness.

From my daughter’s secret case.Has more flavor than most of the american pale yellow beers and is a bit oranger. Many times when I ask for a dark beer the bartender hands me this. Funny how most people think of this as a dark beer, it isn’t. Just a more flavorful mouthful than your regular beer. Does anyone remember when yuengling was the cheap junk beer? Now I’m showing my age, boy how things have changed. Black & Tan is a much better beer.

A $6.99 bottle in Newark trying to kill some time before my flight to Dulles and RBSG. A brown beer - looks more like a brown ale, than a lager, with a thin disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with a weird fruityness to it, probably stemming from a hop sort I don’t recognize, combined with light notes of yeast and acidity. The flavor is sweet with light notes of fruit and nuts. It reminds me a lot of a Brown ale. Easily drinkable, though a bit too easy for me. I had it several times visiting Philadelphia before my time on RateBeer and remember it much better than what I think of it now...
