The castaway uncle of Rocky's Revenge... Mellowed by his time on the islands. Well tanned and a bit sweeter from age. Accented by flavors of coconut, vanilla, oak, licorice, and molasses imparted from chillin' in rum barrels.

12 FLUID OUNCE bottle
Served in a snifter

This beer pours a deep shade of brown. Mahogany highlights are visible when held to the light. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves little lacing.

The aroma is cocoa and chocolate. Some alcohol notes from the rum are detectable.

The flavor has chocolate, fig, dates, and some spices.

Medium to full mouthfeel

This is a pretty tasty beverage. I think this is my first rum barrel aged beer. I am impressed.

Looooots of sugar, vanilla, and more sweetness. Dark molasses and more vanilla. Not getting much if any coconut or licorice, but this is definitely a delicious brown ale. Well done.

Thanks to the sharp eyes of my wife for spotting a couple lingering singles during our May visit to Madison. 12 oz. stubby with the trademark yellow label.

The pour is shimmering ruby, or maybe that’s my slavering anticipation. More barrel in the nose than is typical for the brewery with light notes of chocolate & sweet malt. Mostly rum. Not complaining.

Island Booty is like a rum-and-rum sandwich. Cool, spicy rum is run up, through, & past the each swallow. Providing a frame is the slightly sweet, slightly nutty base brown. Cola, vanilla/coconut. Rum mops up. Smooth, creamy, & drinkable enough for me to suspect a late addition of crack.

Delicious. This beer warmed me up on a cold, rainy night in Madison & it’s doing the same job in the comfort of my basement on a cool summer evening. Excellent beer, but I wish it weren’t vanishing so fast.

12oz bottle from the 2016 release. Served into a snifter glass.

Pours a dark cola brown body, mahogany hue. One finger white head, short retention time, no lacing. Smells of rum, nuttiness, caramel, a bit of toasted malt, touch of earth. Rum heavy, sort of like smelling out of a Malibu bottle but without the ethanol. Flavour is similarly heavy on the rum but no ethanol flavours or heat. Caramel, nuttiness, Candi sugar, moderate toasted barley from the base brown. Mild earthy bitterness. Very nice and soothing, somewhat complex but not boozy. Mouthfeel is medium-lighter bodied, lower in carbonation, drinks very smoothly with a nice rich toasted barley and nuttiness on the finish accompanied by a quick wave of rum sweetness. A nice rum complement to the base imperial brown; I think this suits the base better than bourbon.

Pours to a reddish, dark amber appearance with a two finger tan head. Smells nice with sweet vanilla malt, cherry infused coconut and maple syrup. Taste mirrors the nose pretty closely wth sweet vanilla, coconut, oak and caramel. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is almost non existent. This is yet another very tasty, well made barrel aged beer from Tyranena. Glad they fly under the radar - almost hope they stay that way too.

On tap at the source.

Tan head. Dark brown color.

The rum flavors are fairly muted here. It has some coconut flavors and a lot of chocolate. Oak. Vanilla shows with toffee. Some caramel and nut flavors.

Medium bodied. Nice feel.

For the price, this is a nice beer. I'd drink this all the time if it was available.
