beer_name: Founders Barrel Aged Red's Rye
text: On tap at Founders 4-15-09 The liquid is a dark rusty reddish brown color. Tiny bit of white suds floating on the top when it was served to me. The strongest scent, to me, is coconut. Bourbon is also present. As a whole, the nose is very rich and deep. Nice. There is a considerable alcohol taste. But, honestly, what do you expect from a beer like this? Coconut is huge here as well, with some fresh pineapple, peaches and, in the background, bit of tart cherries even comes through. It's very spicy. There's a great complexity going on here. This brew blurs the line between beer and fine liquor, but is still surprisingly drinkable considering. I had one of these a while back, and in comparison I think this one was a bit more boozy. Maybe it's the age? Mouthfeel is medium thickness with low carbonation.
