Well, where do I begin?
I had been wanting to pick one of these up for some time and the other day I finally did... regretfully.
The bottle says Mississippi Mud and it is produced by the Mississippi Brewing Company in Utica, New York. Hmm, I didn't know there were swamps in upstate New York...
The bottle also says this is a Black and Tan made from a Continental Pilsner and a Classic Porter, another very suspect statement.
Let's cut the crap. This is sh!t beer. This thing pours a coca-cola color with a head that dissapates quickly and leaves no lacing whatsoever. The smell is a clean pilsner smell with a touch of roasted malt and something metallic.
The taste is of vague malt with some heavy adjunct/cereal and something almost metallic that is very unpleasant. It does have a very clean lager-ish feel, it is crisp, over-carbonated and very, very watery. Sure, it goes down easy and feels very light for a beer this color but the nasty taste makes it all for nothing.
This is basically a very cheap dark adjunct lager. Very cheap. This is a novelty beer, period. You buy this beer for the bottle only as it is a cool bottle but the beer is pure garbage. No more, no less. Stay away from this brew, the understaste is really bad. Glass Empty all the way. You have been warned.

2 bucks for a neat little jug you can refill with some moon shine can't be that bad!
Hmmm...Yes I recall buying this in college, not knowing anything about beer, but sucked in by the packaging. All I remember is it was gross. But, you can start a jug band with it (or fill it with moonshine as the previous commentor noted).
Enjoying the blog!
Thats an interesting review on this beer. I had one for the first time last night as it was recommended by a trusted beer enthusaist friend. I loved it! I would say i am not so much a beer enthusiast but i do enjoy a good dark beer. It was light but it was a nice change form the full feeling i tend to get from the darker beers i enjoy. I always appreciate a good review though. Take care.
