The beer pours a light cola color and only appears red with a bright back light. The head is khaki colored and recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. Minimal lacing. The aroma is sweet, with bourbon and caramel plus tannins and vanilla. The flavor is semisweet, bourbon first, with caramel, oak barrel, more bourbon and some ethanol heat. Mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is medium plus bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Not sticky, yet mildly sweet with the barrel smacking down any lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. Overall, very, very enjoyable Imperial Red Ale. Oddly, nothing Irish here.

Pours a murky brown color with a foamy tan head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and bourbon. Taste of alcohol up front but finishes sweet. Good mouth feel.
