Baudoinia is a collaboration between Brewmaster Brett Porter and John Laffler. Baudoinia is the name of a fungus that grows on barrels stored low to the ground in distillery rickhouses. Given these barrels uniqueness, they have aged Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout solely in these Baudoinia covered barrels for a new spin on Bourbon County.

A: Black with very little head, typical of a goose island BA stout.
S: Very relaxed, balanced, and smooth - like a more chill bourbon county. Sweet barrel notes of vanilla, caramel and coconut are pronounced cleanly. Sweet chocolate and a good amount of fresh coffee.
T: Similar to the nose - a more relaxed and balanced bourbon county. Not much heat at all and no soy sauce feel at all. Very sweet vanilla, caramel and chocolate. The coffee provides a much needed bitterness.
P: Incredibly smooth - like silk. Full mouth feel, not syrupy at all
O: Great BA stout all around. Nothing really jumps out specifically that makes it unique, but nothing takes away from greatness either. Very solid

An interesting experiment, and one that fans of BCBS should love. Cuts the BCBS heat a little, dulls the vanilla that's usually present (especially 2014 BCBS), and replaces it with a more chocolatey version of the beer. Nice amount of hoppiness too, although I picked that up on the second day drinking this, so who knows. There's a tiny hint of something funky (which I assume is the fungus on the barrels) on the finish. Thanks to Beerlistman for setting this one up!
