[1] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (1/7/2010 2:52:58 PM)
"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."

"a bit of an inbetween beer in quality and price (between macro & quality micro)...a little thin, roasted flavors but a little weakish. good beer as an intro to craft beer."

"This porter black and tan is better than most "cheap" black & tans I've had. The aroma of grain and oak (not sure if that is the best description) was pleasant while pouring. The color is deep and rich. The brew felt a bit watery in the mouth, but provided a decent flavor. Overall, a beer I will revist when I want a neat jug and a cheap black and tan."

[4] Review by Jabah from Port St. Lucie, FL, USA who has tried this beer many times. (8/29/2009 3:22:55 PM)
"Been a while since I had this beer......something like 15 years, so saw this recently which reminded me to review. I sort of want to grab one so I can review it with a fresh update, but I have a feeling that I would semi-regret it afterwards. Until I do I'll just have to go on old memories. It really isn't a bad beer though, used to get it for camping trips, etc. Has a dark, muddy appearance with a typical black and tan/porter taste....maybe something like a thicker Yuengling Black & Tan. A decent "budget" dark beer. Will probably buy a 32 oz. to take on my next camping festival so I can update this rating."

"I'm not gonna lie- i just drank this baby out of the jug. I had to. My boss used to talk about this beer, he had it when he was a young lad. Now he's old and grey, and can't find it anywhere but i found it down in Chicago. HAd to buy it and tonight i imbibed it. Placid, creamy vanilla and a little oak i think. some milk chocolate notes is what i tasted. couldn't tell ya what it looked like unforunately. but satifying and highly drinkable. it would be clever to get some swing tops for these here jugs and fill 'em with moonshine for the fellas. Yessir!"
