Light
Stable 12 Brewing Company

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has an orange/copper color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of cocoa, little else. Taste is coffee, cocoa, hints of vanilla. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall it's a pretty good beer.

16 oz can from Tavour. Bright medium golden, thin, fine head. Coffee leads the aroma. Taste also features the coffee, light roast, gentle bitterness. Hint of sweetness.

L: Golden blonde with a thin ivory head settling to a wisp of a cap and tiny spots of lace.

S; Sweet malts and cocoa here. Some vanilla.

T: Follows the nose with maybe a slight note of plum or apricot barely present

F: Medium-heavy body. Little carbonation. Smooth.

O: Together I was very sad to see them completely mix and waited for separation to no avail. But taste-wise I really enjoyed these. Best Black and Tan of three I've had.

Poured into a Reuben's Brew small snifter. Pours a medium golden amber with a quarter finger, fine off-white head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, coffee with a little espresso character, cocoa and a faint fruit note. Flavor is lightly toasted malt, coffee, light vanilla and an unexpected mixed orange and stone fruit component; finishes with coffee and lightly toasted malt. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. I don't expect these "white stouts" to taste exactly like a dark malt one, but this one is fairly distinct with the fruitiness that shows up, especially in the finish. Coffee is a clear note and is supported well by the malt, which I found more often with dark stouts than lighter styles. Stoutish, but a nice flavor profile.

Drinking Light and Dark individually and have a layered black & tan made from both (as recommended and served at the brewery) to review as well:
Poured in layers into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass.
Made a nice contrasting, layered black and tan. Mixed to review aroma and flavor: stirred, it is a medium to dark reddish orange with a fine, one finger light khaki head with great retention and thick lacing. Interesting that the head is so much more robust in the mixture. Aroma of medium dark toasted malt, coffee, light cocoa and vanilla; leans towards the Light profile. Flavor is mildly toasted dark malt, latte coffee, cocoa, vanilla and the mixed light citrus and stone fruit notes from the Light. Finishes with darker malt and char as well as coffee. Not too much of a surprise here, this tastes like a blend of the two beers with the Light being the dominant flavors, possibly due to its somewhat higher ABV.
The Light is an unusual flavor profile with the fruit flavors unexpected in the stoutish body, but for a black & tan, it makes sense, because the light beer is usually an light ale of some kind. I actually like the mixed black & tan a bit better than the individual components. The Dark is a satisfactory, but not remarkable porter and the Light is a bit unusual in flavor. Together, they work well. An interesting concept that was nicely implemented. Kudos.
