Goose Island Bourbon County Stout

The aroma is sweet alcoholic with notes of wood, prunes, and raisins. The color is pitch black and it has a disappearing brown head. The flavor is alcoholic with notes of roasted malt, wood, chocolate, vanilla, and a little soya. A somewhat weird flavor, but quite interesting.

Bottled. Dark black with near black brief head. Aroma of vanilla and licorice. Sweet with full body and clean mouthfeel with intense oak barrel flavour. The barrel character goes overboard and along with excessive alcohol it gets too intense and unbalanced. A lot of flavour, but not a lot of flavours.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours black and opaque with a pretty much absent head. Distinct aromas of oak and bourbon. Rather full-bodied with plenty of sweet, roasted malt. All the burned malty accents are pretty much hidden underneath the sweetish bourbon notes. Lightly bitter malt finish. 030606

Very dark brown and oily-looking. Bourbon aroma – sweet charcoal, slight vanilla, prunes and big rich malts. Long charcoal and vanilla palate, with noticeable alcohol. Rich fruit esters lie underneath, resulting in a well-integrated brew – rich, warming, enjoyable.

Bottled, thanks to René for sharing. Black coloured with a small beige head. Roasted aroma of coffee and wood with notes of vanilla and hops. Roasted flavour of wood, dried fruits and vanilla.
