Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Black Friday release, Goose Island’s Anniversary Bourbon County Stout aged for two years in Weller 12 Year barrels. Typically aged in 4-5-year-old barrels, the older barrels, along with the extra year of aging, will provide a more robust and bourbon-forward flavor profile.
Expect notes of dried fruit, bourbon, chocolate, and vanilla in what will most likely be the strongest beer of the lineup.

16oz. Bottle into a Lost Abbey teku.
Pours thick... Like the old days. Dense, minimal cocoa head. Thick, mocha lace. Nose is boozy. Hints of molasses, bourbon barrels, and sweet oak mi,Ed with chocolate and raisin. Intensely aromatic. Beer opens rich and thick. Sweet bourbon, layers of chocolate and vanilla fade into a chewy molasses and raisin. Sweet soy sauce towards the finish with a nice boozy spice in the aftertaste. Body is full with low carbonation. Thick and chewy on the palate and boozy going down with a long, lingering finish.
This one really brings me back to the glory days of Bourbon County. Excellent.
