From Liquor Shed in Casper, bottled January 23rd 2023.
It pours a clear deep amber red with a great head of foam, long lasting, superb lacing.
The smell is Bourbon, lactose, sugar, some woody notes.
The taste is Bourbon, lactose, wood, dark pitted fruits. Alcohol hidden okay.
Mouthfeel is fine, a sipper, not as easy to sip on as others in the general abv range. It's weakest component, to me, is the taste. Not worthy of a repurchase.

Red brown with a large foamy tan head. Malty and toasty, a bit rough with fruity hops, whiskey and noticeable booziness. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

355ml bottle; bottled 23rd January 2023. Obtained from Total Wine & More, Laguna Hills. Poured into a Temecula Football Club pint sleeve at my daughters on 9th July 2023, while the Chicken Korma simmered in the background. Slight haze to the mahogany/teak red body, smooth beige head (but thin). Dark red berries and bourbon in the nose and taste, pretty sweet from the off. Interesting for me, I think I might like to try some more Bourbon Barrel Aged Reds as I am a big malt and boozy beers.

12 oz bottle. Pours a darker amber, clear, with an off-white head. Aroma has bourbon and malty caramel sweetness, red raisin. Flavor leads with oaky bourbon brown sugar, caramel maltiness, notes of the red raisin. Pretty much hits the nail on the head for what it's trying to be. Very enjoyable.
