Michelob Black & Tan

Pros: Very Malty Body, for an Anheuser- Busch Product
Cons: Added Rice Distracts a Little Bit from the Taste

To satisfy the craft- beer lovers of the world, the Michelob Specialty Beer Division offers Michelob Black and Tan. This beer is, I will have to admit, a pretty good tasting beer and a decent representation of the Black and Tan style (the bottled ...

Pros: Rich roasty brew, flavorful, readily available, inexpensive
Cons: None

OK, OK. The point of a black and tan is to have it poured in a bar and to appreciate the two distinct layers of beer in the glass as much as it is to enjoy the blend of flavors. So maybe this isn't a black and tan. On the label, Anheuser Busch describes...

Pros: Smooth Taste, No Aftertaste
Cons: None

A couple of months ago I purchased a Michelob sampler with several different flavors of Michelob including the original. Among these was Black & Tan.

First Opinion
When I first poured this brew into the glass I was surprised...

Pros: Decent specialty brew from Anheuser-Busch
Cons: Expecting it to actually be as good as the better Black & Tan brews on the market

So it's Superbowl weekend and I'm cruising to my hometown to catch a Mallards hockey game with my dad and nephew. The forecast was snow so I'm racing the weather during my three-hour trip. Forty-five minutes before reaching my destination, it hits....

Pros: A good refreshing drink
Cons: Try an 'original' to see what I mean

When in America, drink what the Americans drink! That seems to be a reasonable maxim and I have found a number of offerings that are not available on the other side of the pond. Michelob, of course is a well known brand name in the US (as is its parent...

Pros: Hint of dark chocolate and coffee, a very tasty Michelob
Cons: Bombs your taste buds after a few

I never imagined a Black & Tan from Anheuser-Busch would be this good. It was almost good enough to fool my brain into thinking this was off the tap! I sipped on one before dinner and continued in amazement throughout my meal. It was a well balanced...

Pros: Good flavor for the buck
Cons: Not really black or tan

When it comes to distinguished names in crafting fine beers, I tend to place Michelob just slightly above Bud lite or [super] Natural ice. I must admit some prejudice here. A few weeks ago, I was at a party and someone offered me a Bud. I turned him...

Pros: Not a bad drink
Cons: Not a black and tan

The entire point of the black and tan is that the two colors and flavors don't mix. (The fact that they don't mix is a sort of joke... as in English don't mix well with Irish or the English should stay out of Ireland and so on...) Also, let's not...

Pros: excellent taste, smooth, not filling
Cons: hard to drink in large quantities

I was first exposed to Michelob Black and Tan at (of all places) a minor league baseball game. It was like no beer I had ever tasted. I ended up going to several more of the games just for the beer!

Black and Tan is a very dark beer. It...

Pros: distinctive taste, smooth
Cons: filling , a bit expensive

I found this beer to be really really good. It has a full bodied flavor with a distinct hops taste to it. It is also real smooth going down. I found this beer to be perfect to start the night out. Since it is full bodied, it does fill you up. I...

Pros: Strikes a fine balance between thick and light.
Cons: none

Chocolate. Caramel. Coffee. Right now you're either thinking of Starbucks or chewy Halloween candy. Pure chocolate straight from the cocoa leaf however tastes quite bitter. Leaves, after all, would not survive long if they tasted good. Caramel, obviously...

Pros: good taste great beer
Cons: none at all

I will keep this review simple. I am not the greatest writer. I can't spell that well either. But I do know my beers. This beer is one of the greatest beers I have ever tried. Usually when I drink beer I drink it at parties and usually they have beers...

Pros: Inexpensive change of pace
Cons: Aftertaste, Flavor

I work for Anheuser-Busch, but believe me this is one beer I wouldn't recommend. I'm sure It's a taste for a chosen few people. The taste is very thick bodied. I found the taste to be a little woody or cardboard like. I am not big into aftertaste and...

Pros: flavorfull
Cons: light body

If you are in a bind and are looking for the flavor of a Black & Tan, this is the bottle to grab. I was very delighted at the taste of this brew. It doesn't have the same taste when it hits your mouth initially but if you hold it the swallow, it...

Pros: rich malty taste, nice finish
Cons: The singular color

Michelob Black and Tan is truthfully a dark beer as I couldn't find any tan. But although the beer doesn't separate this is no reason to not try this excellent brew. I find the brew to have a rich malt flavor that is somewhat sweet but a clean and...
