The Madison Isthmus website has a review of a beer I just had at the Midwinter Brew Fest at the Milwaukee Ale House last weekend: Tyranena's Dirty Old Man.
I'm a big fan of Tyranena beers, especially their extra hoppy styles like their Bitter Woman IPA series. This beer is part of the Tyranena Brewers Gone Wild series of beer - extreme flavors and unusual styles that are all very good.
Dirty Old Man is an Imperial Rye Porter that was aged in rye barrels that used to contain Jim Beam Yellow Label (Rye whiskey, aged 4 years, 80 proof).
This beer is strong, dark, and sweet. It also has a strong whiskey taste.
Beer aged in bourbon and whiskey barrels is very popular lately and it took me awhile to get used to the whiskey taste, but now I really like it, especially when it has warmed a little in a glass.
Tyranena Dirty Old Man is rated an A- on Beer Advocate.
