Turbid, sludgy brown beer with posh carbonation yields a yellow creamy head that swells three fingers thick. The foamy crown melts gradually to a neat lacing on the surface. I can inhale a seductive scent: a good load of chipotle with a smoked hint, accompanied by cookie, cereal, Bourbon and milk chocolate. The fragrance is very soft and fruity. The tongue receives milk chocolate, cookie, oat flakes, red wine (where does this come from??), barrel notes, Bourbon and truly remote vanilla. Those are all auxiliary components here. The leader of the pack is ample chili, not smoked anymore. Surprisingly fruity. 🤎🤎 The body is medium-full to full. Ends with a tingling chili bite. Harsh Bourbon barrel nuances seal the deal. Feels medium-full, spicy, light-dry, relatively soft, smooth, deep and barrel aged. As well as lip-glueing. Unique. And really successful!  🤎🤎 P.S. I checked my stats: 123 Red Ales and 7 Imperial Red Ales. Among those 130 beers, this occupies a shared #3 position.
