beer_name: Bodacious Black & Tan
text: Pours black with a thin tan/light brown head. Some traces of lacing stick. The smell is of sweet citrus, light roast, chocolate and cherry licorice. The taste is of citrus, some chocolate/toffee and cherry liquorice. It has a sweet, with some bitter, dryish, lightly roasted, finish. Mild-to-medium carbonation, it's pretty silky. It does have something of a late kick, but still very drinkable. An enjoyable blended beer - IPA and stout - different for a black and tan - and works well - a black IPA is pretty much what it comes down to - with characteristics of both blending well.
