Jan 31, 2009 On cask at Clyborn. Can’t say I was a huge fan of this. Appearance is great, nice tan head and dark brown body. Aroma is malty, a bit of roasted malts, similar to a porter aroma. Flavor is pretty complex, feels like a strong blend between a brown ale and a porter, alcohol seemed a little more noticeable than any other beer I’ve ever had from Goose Island. I wasn’t really thrilled with this, but then again it wasn’t bad either.

Mar 9, 2008 pours deep brown, with a smallish brown head. sweetish nose, fruit, creamy, perhaps vanilla-ey. flavor struck me a chocolate, or pahaps coffee, with a creamy feel, with a touch of fruit. not a style i particularly enjoy.

Nov 8, 2007 Tap @ Clybourn. Noted in the description as commemorating batch #1800. (I think all bottle reviews should be moved to the non retired Bourbon Brown.) Pours a murky brown black with a beige head that fades to a ring. Doughy nose, rich chocolate, bourbon, caramel, toffee, caramelized sugars and fruits. Chocolate and bourbon are the strongest flavor notes with cherries, bananas, vanilla, and alcohol coming out. Solid beer.
