12oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts, chocolate, slight wood, slight whiskey, vanilla, and some bourbon. Poured extremely deep brown/black in color with a tiny, brown head that diminished but lasted around the edges. Opaque. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of whiskey, wood, slight coffee, light chocolate, slight bourbon, light vanilla, light roasted malts, slight rye, and hints of tar and tobacco. Medium to full body. Smooth, then slightly dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Slight chocolate, light wood, slight tar, slight tobacco, slight whiskey, and light vanilla finish is lightly dry. 7.9%ABV is completely hidden throughout.

Bottle received as a gift from hellbilly -- thanks, man! Pours a roasted coffee color with a ruby tint and a tan head. Smells aggressively of rye and red peppers. Actually, this reminds me a lot of pepper jack cheese. Has a lot of bite in flavor, but it’s conterbalanced by the creaminess of the malt and some bakers cocoa. An interesting combination, but not quite as balanced as the other Tyranena beers I’ve tried.

Bottle courtesey of headbanger. Nicedark red color. lots of caramel with a dry bourbon aftertaste. I’m not crazy about alot of bourban beers but this was nice. Lots of chocolate in the mix also.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of over ripe fruits and a bit of oxidation, leading to a dry fruity finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Dark brown body, almost opaque with a fleeting tan head. Bourbon and roast malt aroma. Chocolate, coffee, Bourbon and roast malts. Smooth subtle and just sweet enough. Not overly complex, but not lacking either.

Bottle thanks to Gloughlouburp!Sepia colored, thin tan head. Chocolate and coffee-esque roasted malt rule the nose, hints of cherry lingering in there. Incredibly silky, smooth body (if a little thin), flavor coming with more chocolate and roasted malt and a definite but restrained and refined whiskey, mostly in the finish. Not that unique, but that palate is something to behold, almost like a chocolate-whiskey candy.
