Black
Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.

From the double can two-pack for a Black and Tan.
Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing nearly opaque in the glass with a half finger khaki head with great retention and nice lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, baker's chocolate, coffee and graham cracker; smells nice. Flavor is dark toasted malt with light char, baker's chocolate, pot coffee; a bit of residual coffee char in the finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. A fair take on an Irish dry stout with solid charred dark malt and good coffee notes; not that complicated, but hits the important style flavors; smells really good.
Black and Tan:
So how does it blend together for a black and tan? The Aroma is all over the place, with some dark toasted malt, biscuit malt, apple juice notes and a little coffee; leans mostly to the pale ale side of the equation. Flavor fairly follows aroma, a combination of dark toasted malt and light coffee from the stout and lighter biscuit malt, and fruit notes with light to moderate grassy hops. Interesting, but seems to not know where its going. I lean in the direction of the straight stout for my palate. Fun to mix, though.
Rating for Black only.
