I was thinking of doing a Skunksworth's Barleyslime review for this beer but I have no sense of humour today after being exhausted from drinking a bit too much wine last night. This review is dedicated 100% to Oni over at Podcrastination.ca. Today I'm checking out Budweiser Reserve Copper Lager, AKA the Jim Beam beer.

"Budweiser Reserve Copper Lager is an American lager-style beer, brewed with two-row barley and aged on Jim Beam bourbon barrel staves. The charred American oak staves, which previously served as barrels aging Jim Beam for four years, create a toasted oak aroma, while the beer has a deliciously nutty taste with caramel rye and vanilla notes and the classically smooth Budweiser finish."

Appearance: I had completely different expectations for what this beer was going to look like. I was expecting it too look like your typical Budweiser lager - light golden straw with a lot of carbonation and bit of a white head on top. This actually looks like an autumny-themed bock as it's red with a bit of a nutty brown hue to it. It still does have a lot of carbonation taking place in the body, but the head is a very creamy yellowish beige head on top. Seriously a mind fuck when I first started pouring it.

Aroma: Caramel sweetness, a bit of a nuttiness, notes of raisins, and a hint of bourbon. Not really noticing any woodiness from here so far but this honestly doesn't smell bad.. shocker?! I know! Very bock-like so far.

Taste: Quite sweet and bock like. There's a heavy dose of caramel in every sip. There's a bit of a nuttiness, followed by a hint of wood from the staves. The beer has a hint of raisin to it and a very very subtle hint of a burn that would be reminiscent of the burn from the burn from the Bourbon but I'm not really getting any Jim Beam Bourbony notes in it.. but actually when the beer warms up a bit, I kind of do. The aftertaste is slightly woody with a bit of caramel to it.

Overall Thoughts: Better than expected, basically your typical red lager or bock - it has a lot of sweetness to it, to the point that it lingers on the tongue for a good amount of time. Pretty much reminiscent of anything of this style for me. Will I buy this again? If this is an option at a chain restaurant/pub chain and there's no good craft beer... I actually might, but there's too many better beers out there so I probably won't. Much better than their regular Budweiser beer.

Today, Budweiser and Jim Beam® Bourbon officially unveil their highly anticipated collaborative brew Budweiser Reserve Copper Lager. The new beer celebrates two all-American brands that survived Prohibition and have thrived in their respective businesses for a collective 365 years. The third installment in Budweiser's Reserve Collection, Copper Lager, will be available nationwide through the holiday season.

The charred American oak staves, which previously served as barrels aging Jim Beam for four years, create a toasted oak aroma, while the beer has a deliciously nutty taste with caramel rye and vanilla notes and the classically smooth Budweiser finish. The new specialty beer will be available in heritage glass bottles and on draught at bars across the country.

“We're very excited to bring the highly anticipated Budweiser Reserve Copper Lager to beer and bourbon aficionados from across the country,” said Ricardo Marques, Vice President of marketing for Budweiser. “By working closely together with our friends at Jim Beam, we've brewed something truly unique that stays true to the incredible legacy of these two American icons.”

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition and both brands share unique histories of surviving the 13 years in which America went dry. The partnership between Budweiser and Jim Beam began in April as a cross-merchandising program and now includes Copper Lager, a uniquely innovative beer combining the heritage, quality and passion from both companies.

”As the category leader in bourbon production and innovation, we are especially particular about the brands with whom we choose to partner,” said Rob Mason, Vice President of marketing for Jim Beam. “Budweiser is the perfect match for Jim Beam – an all-American beverage icon with generations of family heritage, tradition and craftsmanship. We are thrilled that Fred Noe, our 7th Generation Master Distiller, had the opportunity to collaborate with Budweiser's brewmasters to deliver such a unique and bourbon-forward beer.”

Copper Lager will be supported with a 360-degree campaign including TV, Digital & OOH. Budweiser will feature MCA Nashville and Interscope Recording Artist Kassi Ashton and the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales within the campaign. Budweiser and Jim Beam will continue to collaborate through co-branded programming at bars and retail venues across the country.

About Budweiser

Budweiser, an American-style lager, was introduced in 1876 when company founder Adolphus Busch set out to create the United States' first truly national beer brand – brewed to be universally popular and transcend regional tastes. Each batch of Budweiser stays true to the same family recipe used by five generations of Busch family brewmasters. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp and pure beer with blended layers of premium American and European hop aromas, brewed for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment. Budweiser is made using time-honored methods including "kraeusening" for natural carbonation and Beechwood aging, which results in unparalleled balance and character.

So far Budweiser Reserve Black Lager is a nice inviting brew. Now for the taste, it is Bold with flavors. There is a nice amount of roasted grains, malts, mixed with whiskey notes. The body of Budweiser Reserve Black Lager is a medium to heavy, but not to heavy.
