(12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Murky dark brown body with medium tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, coffee, chocolate, some cream, light vanilla. Taste is moderately sweet, coffee, chocolate, some vanilla. Chococoffee finish. Creamy medium body, some syrup, low carbonation. Great to discover that Tyranena has a barrel-aged beer worthy of the hype (ok, I liked Who’s Your Daddy too (but this one more)).

Jul 22, 2008 This beer is superb. The oatmeal adds a creamy flavor component that complements the vanilla from the barrel aging perfectly. Tastes like a delicious cappuccino with a shot of bourbon in it. Perfectly balanced.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours a pitch black brew with a one finger creamy tan head. The nose is chocolatey, nice roasty coffee, sweet, light bourbon. The flavor is big on coffee and smooth roast, milk chocolate, sweet, lightly bitter. The palate is decent, a bit thin.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle from iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey! Pours a deep brown with a solid tan head. Nose is roasted malts with a good amount of coffee, and just a hint of bourbon sweetness. Nice rounded flavor with more coffee, roasted malts, cocoa, and sweet bourbon. Silky smooth, yet chewy, mouthfeel. Pretty tasty porter.
