12oz stubby bottle poured into a Tyranena snulip.
Appearance: Translucent golden bodied beer with large bone white head yielded from a strong pour.
Smell: Nice red wine notes and oak with fresh grains and a light tartness. The nose of this beer is really something incredible.
Taste: Wish this tasted like it smelled! Sadly, it does not translate. Flavor profile is a little rough around the edges and boozy. The beer begins with a refreshing red wine tartness and dry tannic oak which starts things off very well, but the grains in this beer taste rather stale and dull. Next booze takes over and seems to completely wash over any developing complexities. Finish is bland with stale pale malts trying to redeem this beer in the finish. Sadly they are not successful.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Medium carbonation levels. Light dry finish. Rather boozy for the abv. The texture of this beer is pretty decent overall. Tone down the booze and this would have been a big improvement to potentially save the flavor profile.
Overall: I am a saison snob. So this was a big task for the Tyranena crew to please me. This is more of a red wine barrel biere de garde with influences of a belgian tripel. One can argue about "duplication" when arguing the difference between Biere de Garde and an "Imperial Saison". My take is that this is an "American" Biere de Garde which is why Tyranena called it an Imperial Saison. Or perhaps an "American Tripel Biere de Garde". I just made that up, but this beer seems to cross the style line in at least two, three, and I might even argue four different beer styles. The texture of the beer, the nose, plus great red wine barrel notes keep this beer from being a disaster. The booze and "rough around the edges" situation with the overall picture of this beer make it slightly questionable. Cant be terribly hard on Tyranena because the wheelhouse beers of this brewery are dark barrel aged porters and stouts. Saisons are just not their game.
