nose of sour mash and a ting of sweetness. dark red color with good head. palate is a tad sour, a tad sweet and the bite of bourbon overpowers the taste. a good showing from tyranena.

Nov 30, 2009 unfiltered brown, small tan head. rich toffee and tangy bourbon approach, malty caramel across the middle, light prickly black-pepper tinged yeast in the finish. texture is moderately caustic with a small dose of petroleum and a heavy amount of black patent malt. good enough.

Nov 17, 2009 Holy cow! (And I don’t just say that because this beer is from WI). A sessionable bourbon beer! Pours dark brown with a white head. Nose is maple, bourbon, roasted malts, and some nuts. Flavor starts fizzy then goes to malt, nuts, and a mild, mellow bourbon quality. This beer has a great niche... much of the bourbon flavor with a mildness and a sessionable quality. Medium bodied and very nice.

Nov 11, 2009 no head, no lace, good flavor but on the sweeter side which is unexpected considering a portion is aged in bourbon barrels. A unimpressive brown ale.

Oct 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Amber/brown pour with a big beige head. Aromas of sweet malt, caramel, bread, hops and wood. Subtle oak flavor up front, followed by caramel and then a dry finish. The barrel is not overdone on this one, which is refreshing.

Oct 24, 2009 Pours dark amber/brown with thin head. Aroma of roasted malts and alcohol. Can easily tell from the first sip that this is aged in a barrel. Good balance, but a bit of an alcohol taste that comes through. Dry finish.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquor. Pours ruby with a 4-finger "rocky" beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and arguably vanilla from a barrel. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is very smooth roasted malt. Finishes more bitter than not, and with time the vanilla/oak aspect is quite noticeable. It’s a very good beer.

Sep 30, 2009 Not bad smell. Sweet oat bag and syrup. Brown color. Decent head. Can actually taste the bourbon a bit, which is a plus. Without that it would probably not be nearly as good. Gives it a woody dimension in what would otherwise be a pretty unflavored beer.
