Yuengling Black & Tan from Yuengling Brewery
Rating: B-
Appearance: very dark brown, opaque, a rough pour produced a one finger head with decent retention. Minimal lacing. Vaguely cola-like appearance.
Smell: sweet malt, hint of hops at the tail. some chocolate.
Taste: Dual personality shows up in the flavor. Surprisingly light at first, this is the "premium lager," and the porter shows up a second or two later. Flavor is fairly light, bitterness balances the malt well - from the smell, I was expecting something sweeter. Chocolate malt finish. Slight bitter coffee aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: fizzy carbonation, too much. light mouthfeel seems out of place with the malts here.
Drinkability: light mouthfeel, dry finish contribute to good drinkability. could be a good baby-step into "dark beer" for someone not accustomed. Take a macro lager, and add some chocolate malt flavor and you get the idea.
Serving type: bottle
