The Red Eclipse is here only for a moment. This decadent, vanilla cherry stout is velvety and sweet - but don't be fooled. Bourbon barrels add rich notes of oak and caramel that make this beer a true rarity. Savor the experience of the Red Eclipse.

Draft. Very dark, almost black with not much head. Aroma is fruity with a bourbon barrel tinge. Taste is like a chocolate covered cherry.

Bottle. Eye is viscous and back as pictured. Nose is mild alky volatile vanilla. Tongue is mild tart flavor on top of mouthcoating thick brutal burnt barbaric barrage. A big boozy bowser baleful balking bane. Palate's a beaten barren befouled beleaguering feeling. Middle bemoans a bereft betrayal. Finishes with a bereft bewildering betrayal of intense blameworthy blathery. Such a boorish bossy cloying alky bomb braggart. I'm brainwashingly bristly. Whew, whiskey entrails on the end. Anybody got a beloved beautiful bundle of pale lager chaser?

Pours near black with a lingering tan head. It smells of bourbon, dark roast malt, and cherries. The flavor is definitely on the sweet side though doesn’t overwhelm with it. Oaky bourbon comes through well with roast malt, cherries, and chocolate notes. Vanilla? Maybe. Very tasty.
