Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum bottle from shrubber85 poured into a glass. Opaque brown with medium beige head. Aroma is caramel, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is caramel, vanilla, oak, and a little bourbon. I enjoy this one.

Can - Sweet toffee and bourbon notes with a hint of caramel apple. Deep dark copper brown with a beige head. Sweet toffee, caramel and some nutty notes with hints of vanilla and the courbon. Very sweet, but nicely balanced and rich.

Arizona Canned Beer Festival 2015. Bottle shaped can pours up with a clear brown body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up big smooth bourbon sort of rum like notes flowing into coconut and mild sweet dark fruity esters. The taste is smooth and similar with soft brown sugar and prune sweetened bourbon and coconut. To midway it finds a faint vanilla sweetness to go along with all of the other sweet notes. Great sipper where the bourbon and booze have just enough sharpness to help cut into the sweetness to add a semblance of balance.

Bottlecan courtesy of StFun labeled King’s Reserve (Bourbon Barrel Afternoon Delight on the back): Bourbon nose. Cloudy brown, thin yellow head. Bourbon, oak, not hot. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Base beer hard to detect, but not boozy. Rather like diluted bourbon. I wish it was more beery.
