Goose Island Bourbon County Stout

Ive had this a couple times and this is a great bourbon stout.Bourbon presence and chocolate vanilla and some oak as well.Smooth but does pack some alcohol puch. If you are a big stout fan like myself this is a must try for you..

Bottle, $5.99. This was my treat on vacation in Ojai. Appears jet black, thick, and with little head. Aroma features rich oak, grape felly, Muscat, and an overriding fruit-candy sweetness. Palate is full-bodied and creamy, finishing long long long! Primary flavor notes maintain dark fruit, bourbon, and licorice. Certainly not your everyday Impy Stout experience! Overall, this is a real after dinner sipper. It is extraordinarily powerful, in both flavor and alcohol. I find myself done after 8 ounces.

2007/12oz. Deep, mirror black. sheen, no head even after a 12" pour. The night had me whimpering before this, but it was an incredible, memorable nightcap. Bourbon on nose, Bourbon taste. Fresh and incredible. Deep chocolate, espresso and hot. Unbelievably good. So much bourbon and so much taste. Not balanced but why would you want it to be? Extreme in the perfect direction, I’m enchanted.

On tap at the Ginger Man in nyc. Was a great beer that knocked me on my @$$ at the end of the night, still actually could taste the bourbon flavor the next morning.

Bottle: (Thanx to Otto Lundell) Black colour, allmost no head. Aroma of raisins,dust,Viny(caramelly) Dark Choclate. Flavor is allmost the same here. Big body, and a long bitter/Choclate/Coffee finish. Nice

Bottle. Pours a thick syrup like opaque black body with a dark brown heavy head that rises slowly. The nose is fully of woody, oaky sweet notes and caramel and candied sugar. The roasty burnt coffee is is harder pick up, but lurks in the background. There is a woody acidic alcohol burn that hits the pallate first that almost has a hint of sourness. That is quickly overwhelmed by the velvety smooth, almost sticky body. The alcohol soak is heavy and deep on the back of the tongue. The flavor bursts with notes of burbon, oak, coffee and chcolate malts. Truly a complex mixture with each aspect fighting to reach the taste buds first. I swear this beer was so good that I could still taste it the next morning, and craved its flavors two days later, like a smoker going cold turkey.

Extremely dark brown, motor oil thick with very minimal chocolate brown head. Huge aroma - caramel, slightly sour fruit, chocolate, charred wood, and alcohol. Sweet, woody, roast malt flavor with fruit, caramel, chocolate, and bourbon. Finishes a little bitter with a bit of alcoholic bite. Lingering dark chocolate and bourbon aftertaste. Thick, viscous palate. Very, very good.

12 oz bottle from total wine warehouse. pours black with just a thing tan ring aronnd the edge. liqoury aroma with some hints of dark fruit and molases. finsihges sticky with vanilla notes. long finsih with a fiar amoutn of booze.
