The brown body is hazy and clouded, and the head actually came up well and showed good retention.
Comments  Thanks to BuckeyeNation for laying this one on me.RoyalT, May 08, 20053.8/5 rDev +1.9%On tap at Wonders pub.
Drinkability: Quite good, higher than most bourbon beers.DaPeculierDane, Nov 17, 20053.25/5 rDev -12.9%DanGeo, Jun 27, 20142.5/5 rDev -33%J2L, Nov 04, 20123/5 rDev -19.6%Ben7773, Mar 08, 20143.58/5 rDev -4%The Rocky's Revenge Bourbon Brown pours from the stubby 12oz'er a dark brown with garnet accents. A small khaki head of foam falls quickly to a ring inside the glass. Aromas begin with sweet caramel and a toasted nutty maltiness. A shot of vanilla and a bit of dark fruit. I don't really pull any bourbon out of the aroma.
First sip brings a toasted caramel maltiness upfront with a bit nutty accent. A somewhat strong vanilla flavor moves in that gets to be a bit much halfway through the glass, along with a bit of butterscotch. Subtle notes of cocoa and hops. Finishes with a touch of bourbon. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Lots of fast moving carbonation smooths it out on the way down. An easy drinking beer that just falls off a bit on the flavor profile for me. I don't think I could have more than one or two in a sitting personally. Overall, a unique brown ale that steps outside the norm a bit.orbitalr0x, Jun 14, 20063.43/5 rDev -8%12 oz bottle courtesy of Deniz, thanks man!This beer poured a translucent brown with a thin 1 inch head. The head died quickly and left a little lacing on the glass. The smell of bourbon is prevalent, as is caramel. I found the taste matched the smell. This beer was very thin for me and I didn't enjoy that aspect of it. Overall, this beer is a great session beer and nothing more.ROBORB, Mar 11, 20093.25/5 rDev -12.9%danthehopslamman, Aug 11, 20133.75/5 rDev +0.5%DaftPatrick, Aug 07, 20143.38/5 rDev -9.4%Bright, brown/garnet with a quick slightly off-white foam lacing, retention, and stick.
Interesting, but not overly interesting as far as bourbon aged beers go. This could have used more malt backbone, but I did like the subtle bourbon flavor. Perhaps a bit too subtle, but the levels worked for this Brown Ale. Just enough to seep into the palate and let you know its there.Todd, Mar 02, 20053.5/5 rDev -6.2%Twifiter, Oct 15, 20123.83/5 rDev +2.7%Many thanks to onecrazymofo for this normally, out of reach brew...sounds interesting enough and I love the artwork on the label.
Only my second brew from Tyranena...I am impressed so far.warriorsoul, Apr 30, 20054.48/5 rDev +20.1%Appearance: dark brown in color, hazy, minimal head, moderate carbonationSmell: dark chocolate and coconutTaste: complex-chocolate, vanilla, oaking from the whiskey and a touch of coconut tasteMouthfeel: sweet with a dry end, moderate carbonation, medium-heavy bodiedOverall: One of the best beers I had on my recent trip out west. I love the complexity and there is a bit of a taste of coconut that really makes this stand apart. This one reminds me almost of a good candy bar mixed with beer--may not sound good but is fantastic. This would be a regular staple in my fridge if I could get it here. Fantastic beer.tigg924, Aug 14, 20124/5 rDev +7.2%Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.The beer pours a clear light brown color with a tan head. The aroma is grain, caramel malt and little wood. The flavor is caramel with some chocolate and toffee. I don't get much bourbon in the aroma or flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.Mora2000, May 22, 20103.43/5 rDev -8%Pours a light mahogany color. Sweet malt on the nose with maybe just the slightest smell of bourbon, but barely. Tastes pretty much like it smells. The bourbon is present, but just barely, with mostly sweet malt. Very light mouthfeel, not much body. Also very little carbonation, which fits the beer. I think any more carbonation would ruin it entirely. I've had this before, but not since I've gotten in to craft beers. Just a so so beer. I won't be buying this dude again.Edit: Now that my nose and pallet are growing, I smell vanilla, and it has a slight vanilla on the pallet as well. I like this better now than I did before. I'm changing the smell, taste, and overall to a 3.5 and apparently I did buy this dude again. It is now my favorite go to beer. Whoda thunk it?1Adam12, Jun 07, 20113.94/5 rDev +5.6%Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Imperial Pint.Appearance: Dark reddish brown as expected, but struggles for much head.Smell: Caramel and chocolate, with some light bourbon.Taste: Bourbon is noticeable upfront, along with the expected Brown Ale players of chocolate, caramel, cherry and nuts. The finish has floral components, as well as oak.Feel: Moderately carbonated, medium-bodied beer with a somewhat drying finish.Overall: Pretty much as described, as standard Brown Ale with bourbon, which elevates the good, but not great, base beer. Nice to see bourbon used for a lower alcohol beer.bsp77, Feb 06, 20133.75/5 rDev +0.5%NilocRellim, Sep 29, 20123.75/5 rDev +0.5%possumteeth, Jan 25, 20144/5 rDev +7.2%bpfrush, Nov 15, 20114.25/5 rDev +13.9%tyleeis, Apr 25, 20143.86/5 rDev +3.5%HeyYoMar, Sep 06, 20143.58/5 rDev -4%Chestnut colored liquid capped with an oatmeal colored lid of sea foam. The head grips the sides of the glass and slides down, leaving a uniform ring around the inside. The smell is very faint, do I smell bourbon or am I imagining it? I'm picking up some sweet malt, some brown sugar and molasses, but I have to try hard. A creamy mouthfeel leads to a thin-flavored wash of syrupy flavor of sweet malt and caramel, and definite bourbon overtones. Although I think the bourbon detracts. It doesn't mesh well with the other elements, and leaves a sharp and bitter aftertaste, with a metallic linger. Thanks to BuckeyeNation for sharing, but as I glance at the review below, he appears as enthralled as I.far333, Mar 12, 20054/5 rDev +7.2%acknight, Jul 02, 20133.25/5 rDev -12.9%damuts222, Apr 08, 2012
