One Plus One Equals Three

by Bruguru Bruguru is a Lead on Epinions in Restaurants & Gourmet, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Oct 05 '03
Pros: Tasty, roasty Black and Tan. Widely available.
Cons: None come to mind.
Ever heard of a Black and Tan? Most seasoned beer enthusiasts have. It’s not something you usually see on tap at your local pub, but any bartender worth his salt will be able to pour you one all the same. That’s because traditionally, a Black and T ...

Saranac Black & Tan - A Great Way to Break-In a Black & Tan Virgin

by AliventiAsylum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 07 '05
Pros: rich, full, and smooth flavor
Cons: not widely available outside of the sampler pack
When I went on a recent quest for a variety pack of something I hadn’t yet tried, the Saranac label stood out to me, mainly because it was a beer from my native state of New York and I hadn’t heard of it. The second beer I tasted from the ...

Not Blacker, Not Tanner

by fuche_bu Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 27 '06
Pros: good solid beer
Cons: Doesn't distinguish itself
Black and Tan seems to be a fairly good gimmick when it comes to selling beer. It's a blended style that often ends up being pleasant without being extreme or complex. This middle of the road quality seems to appeal to a good number of drinkers. ...

A great Black & Tan from the Matt family brewery.

by TSomes Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 02 '00
Pros: Having a good black & tan at home
Cons: Seemed to lack complexity
The Adirondack region of New York is a beautiful area. While the mountains do not compare to the majestic ranges of the western United States they provide a haven for quaint towns and wonderful recreation areas. I have always know that New York has many...

Bar alchemy in a bottle

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 06 '08
Pros: Complex flavor; smooth; well-crafted.
Cons: Might be too dry and bitter for lightweights; maybe a little too heavy in body.
It’s impossible to make a good black and tan beer at home. The only way to get a truly good black and tan is at a bar (Guinness and Harp being the best choices to mix). So when I came across Saranac Black & Tan I was a bit skeptical. How could ...

The best black and tan in a bottle

by hbomb , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Smooth taste, available in a bottle
Cons: Stout is not too strong, tough to find on tap
The best Black and Tan out there (and they claim it is the original) is a half pint Guiness with a half pint Bass. This is pretty much one of the perfect beers. The heavyness and bitterness of a Guiness resting below the lighter and sweeter Bass. Well,...

bitter yet sweet

by ghostfaced , Jun 27 '00
Pros: smooth taste
Cons: expensive, filling
Saranac black and tan is my favorite beer. It is a typical black and tan. Bitter and dark yet thick like syrup. I love this beer because it goes down so smooth. It is bitter but not so bitter that you have to drink it slowly. I can drink many saranac...

A better black an tan

by dnick009 , Dec 29 '01
Pros: Very drinkable.
Cons: Unexciting.
Walnut-coloured with a hint of red; beige, fairly quiet and stable head with ever so small bubbles; excellent lacing.
This beer is dry with roasted grain, toast and hay dominating its bouquet, leading to a grainy, dry almost burnt toast taste,...

OOh! My two favorite colors!!

Pros: good, chewable beer
Cons: may not appeal to the Beast drinker
I like my beer like I like my men....thick and hoppy! No, no, no...that came out wrong.

It must be the Saranac. I was introduced to this beverage by my father of all people. He is a beer lover from WAY back. The man has a fridge in the...

One Helluva Beer!

by CapnTrips , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Delicious, enjoyable beer
Cons: They fill you up, can't enjoy more than one or two before filling up
Saranac's Black and Tan represents one of it's many selection of terrific beers. This one however has a taste that is distinctly it's own. An avid beer drinker, I have tasted many Black and Tan's including Mississippi Mud's, YeungLing, and others. And...

Not a fan...

by hamsinn , Jul 11 '00
Pros: Nice label
Cons: The taste
I was surprised to see how many people like this beer. As far as black and tans go, Saranac's offering just isn't that good. I don't know if there's too much tan or too much black, but it just tastes kind of acidic and disgusting to me. If you want a...
