4.5/5  rDev +10.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
A: Very dark; nearly opaque through a 5 oz. tasting glass. Light brown sugar head with moderate retention.

S: Sugary sweetness with residual fruit esters. The malt comes through under the fruits. Faint hop aroma.

T: Quite sweet with the alcohol hitting the back of the throat. Hints of black licorice; greater presence of dark fruits and at least a little black cherry. Definite bite of alcohol.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Crispness on the tip of the tongue and a slight tingle on the way down.

D: Can't get enough--hard to stop and write between sips. My
favorite offering from Goose Island yet.

Other Notes: Had at the Wrigleyville location on 02.28.09. The menu there calls the beer "Extra Naughty Goose."

From the menu: "A brown ale with a bite. An American interpretation of an English classic, with lots of domestic Tettnang and Cascade hops to complement the choclaty roasted malt character. Served in a tulip for $7.

[EDIT: Fixed a typo.]

Brown rust color.

Khaki head; almost no lace.

Toffee, caramel & slight grapefruit on the nose.

Thick, viscous mouthfeel.

Strong bananas up front; light caramel & pickle juice on the finish.

Bold & flavorful, but the finish is brutal. A near-miss.

Really tasty bourbon forward brown. The base beer is a vehicle for the bourbon with enough sweetness to smooth it out and a nice toffee finish. If you're a fan of bourbon notes and flavors, the beer pretty much takes a backseat to the bourbons. Very well made.
