Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout is an American Imperial Stout that defined an entire beer category three decades ago. The 2020 vintage is aged in bourbon whiskey barrels and delivers a layered profile of dark fruits, roasted malts and chocolate. The nose shows deep, complex bourbon and vanilla character. On the palate, it is assertive and full-bodied, with pronounced coffee and dark chocolate bitterness balanced by caramel and toffee sweetness. The finish is long and dry, with warming alcohol that underscores the 14.6% ABV without harshness.

This is a beer for those who appreciate full-bodied, complex stouts shaped by serious bourbon barrel aging.
