Tyranena Chief BlackHawk Porter

Brewed by Tyranena Brewing
Style: Porter
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

Bottle from buckybeer, Thanks! Nose of cofee, molasses, and roastiness. Dark walnut colored with a medium and very long-lasting head; Flavor of coffee, raosted and slightly smoky malts, in a nice medium body with a light hop finish.

Thanks to Buckybeer for this one. It pours indeed a robust black with a robust 3-finger tan head that stays around for a long time and looks like a chocolate malt. The aroma is very roasty dark patent malty, with some slight rauchiness, some chocoff, and some figgy and vinous fruit hints. The flavor is roasty and dark malty, with an initial sweet chocolatey f;avor that ets a bit drier and roastier as it warms. Medium palate heft, with a good balance and very good complexity. This one goes down smooth and is extremely quaffable. List Tyranena as another Wisconsin brewer (along with New Glarus and a few others) that make me want to move to Wisconsin. Hell, I’d even buy Ed Gein’s old house if I had to!

Pours almost black with a small tan head. Smells of mild roasted nuts and coffee. Also a tad of chocolate. Flavor is a little on the light side but is still very good. Flavor is of light smoke malts and coffee. Also some mild bitterness. Pretty good.

Bottle. Pours a very, very dark brown with a nice little tan head. The aroma has hints of soy sauce, good robust coffee, a bit of chocolate. This has a good level of chocolate sweetness and roasty coffee notes. The hops are understandably muddled, but do add a nice bitter edge to the finish. This is well balanced and medium-bodied porter. Good brew for anytime drinking.

Typical coffee/chocolate notes. Prune, grain, molasses, roasty oak, vanilla. More light than medium body. Okay. oddly uneven.

Bottle thanks to NachlamSie. Pours deep amber brown with a dissipating beige head. Aroma is chocolate and tree bark. The flavor is moderately bitter and has more of a cold coffee element than I was expecting. There are also notes of caramel, chocolate, and in the finish something like peanut shells. Fizzy mouthfeel. Ok, not great.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with medium body. Makes a nice tan head that dissolves quickly. Aroma of raosted coffee and malt. Taste of chocolate and caramel. Finishes with a slight bitter taste that fades away quickly. This is a good example of a Porter that I will certainly drink again!

Bottle thanks to milkmandan: Pours to a brown colored body with ruby glitters (I have no idea what that means either but that’s what it looked it and that’s what I wrote) with a medium white head. The aroma is lightly fruity with some notes of sweet chocolate, prunes, light molasses. Taste is chocolate, bitter dark malts, and some sweet grain.
