   Black and Tan poured a dark brown, blackish color with a thumb width, light tan head.  The aroma is malty, with lots of roasted notes.  The body is light and smooth, with dark malt and heavy roasted flavors.  There are charred woody notes, before a mild, dry, and earthy finish.  There was plenty of hanging lace left on the glass.  Overall, this is just an ok beer.  There is now real wow factor here, and there are better choices if your craving a Saranac.  

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
