Appearance: Pours an opaque black body with a small, beige head. Smell: A fine, earthy aroma displaying an array of notes: roasted malts, smoke, black licorice, bittersweet chocolate, and herbs. Taste: Dark roasted maltiness leads to a mild sweetness and a decidedly chocolatey mocha-like flavor. Pinch of anise. Herbal hop flavor with an earthy, spicy bitterness. Lightly roasty finish with a further hint or two of chocolate. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s definitely tasty. BlackHawk carries us all down a Trail of Beers to a really wonderful place.

12oz bottle. Deep reddish brown, medium sized disappearing brown head. Aromas of coffee and malt. Thick coffee/mocha taste with a bitter finish with some malty overtones in there. Overall a full bodied solid beer… Tyranena is growing on me.

Pours a deep brown color with a light brown head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, toffee, and a little bit of diacetyl. Flavor is malty, toffee, caramel, chocolate, and bitter roasty finish.

12oz bottle, courtesy of a trade from a while ago. Thanks! Pours a dark, cola-brown color; huge, textured light-beige head with great retention and fine-bubbled lacing; very nice pour. Bittersweet chocolate, roasted malts, and a zesty lemon peel note in the aroma; pleasant and balanced. Medium mouthfeel, showing lots of milk and dark chocolate, roasted malts (without lending any charred or overly burnt character); plenty of bittersweet chocolate; toasty breadiness / toasted malts at the core. A very tasty, sessionable porter. Medium finish, showing plenty of doughiness, roasted malts, and lingering bittersweet chocolate; dry and bittersweet end.
