The beer pours out looking like a strong sweet tea, with a fast-fading off white head.
On the nose, getting mostly sweet caramel or toffee that covers up the maltiness to an extent.
Similar in the taste. Finding this quite sweet, but warming for a 7.5% beer where I can easily pick out the alcohol. hefty bitterness keeps this beer in check, in my opinion. The assertive bitterness offsets the sweetness.
The feel is thick, bordering on syrupy. A little highly carbonated, possibly, for the style.
Overall, it is a decent brew that manages to tick the style reasonably well. A comfortable warmer, but not a gotta have beer.

A dark brown pour, with a fading head and light lacing. The beer has a nice aroma of roasted malts, smokiness and just ahint of the hop. Tastes like it should - warming with the moderate ABV and light carbonation, just enough to keep the "wee" in wee-heavy. Good balance and a touch past the brown ale style. We don't do a lot from Tyrenna, but this is enjoyable on a cold Januarty night.
