Our Kentucky Irish Red Ale is aged for up to six weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries. Subtle, yet familiar, flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels. Pleasantly smooth and robust, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale may also be served as an aperitif or after-dinner drink. Launched in 2006, it has grown to become the flagship beer of the premier name in barrel-aged beers: Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co.

Pint at Epcot. Judge me. The man cub was eating funnel cake. Hazy amber, cloudy white head. Nose has malt, its bourbony but its faux, vanilla and caramel. Flavors all follow. Its a bit flabby on the finish. Sweet.

Draught via Habitat pours a butterscotch slightly murky brown. Little head. Aroma is bourbin. Taste is sweet with some malts and vanilla. Ok but thin and needs more IMO.

Bottle. I can smell the oak and bourbon in this beer, with a whiff of alcohol. Has that light amber, brown color of bourbon. Not much head. Pretty strong stuff. Nice beer though.

Bottle 0,335ltr: Clear amber colored brew with an sweet bitter taste and fair hints of Bourbon aromas. Not bad but i must say an easy Barrel Aged beer for once, and my first Kentucky tick.
